JEE Main 2022 · 28 Jun · Shift 2, Chemistry question 84

For the given reactions

Sn2++2e−→Sn\mathrm{Sn^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Sn}
Sn4++4e−→Sn\mathrm{Sn^{4+}+4e^-\rightarrow Sn}

the electrode potentials are ; ESn2+/Sn∘=−0.140E^\circ_{\mathrm{Sn^{2+}/Sn}}=-0.140 V and ESn4+/Sn∘=0.010E^\circ_{\mathrm{Sn^{4+}/Sn}}=0.010 V. The magnitude of standard electrode potential for Sn4+/Sn2+\mathrm{Sn^{4+}/Sn^{2+}} i.e. ESn4+/Sn2+∘E^\circ_{\mathrm{Sn^{4+}/Sn^{2+}}} is ______ ×10−2\times10^{-2} V. (Nearest integer)

Answer and worked solution

Official answer: 16

Combine ΔG. 4E°4+/0=2E°2+/0+2E°4+/2+4E°_{4+/0}=2E°_{2+/0}+2E°_{4+/2+}, so E°4+/2+=4(0.010)−2(−0.140)2=0.16E°_{4+/2+}=\dfrac{4(0.010)-2(-0.140)}2=0.16 V =16×10−2=16\times10^{-2} V.
