Question

Use the standard reduction potentials given below to predict if a reaction will occur between  Sn(s) and F2(g) , when the two are brought in contact via standard half-cells in a voltaic cell.

F2(g) + 2e- --> 2F-(aq) E°red = 2.870 V
Sn2+(aq)+ 2e ---> Sn(s) E°red = -0.140V

If a reaction will occur, write a balanced net ionic equation for the reaction, assuming that the product ions are in aqueous solution. If no reaction will occur, leave all boxes blank.
