Answer:

The cell potential is 0.609 V. Given E > 0 the electrochemical cell is spontaneous as written.

Explanation:

Let's consider the oxidation and reduction half-reactions and the global reaction.

Anode (oxidation): Sn²⁺(0.0023 M) ⇒ Sn⁴⁺(0.13 M) + 2 e⁻

Cathode (reduction): 2 Fe³⁺(0.11 M) + 2 e⁻ ⇒ 2 Fe²⁺(0.0037 M)

Global reaction: Sn²⁺(0.0023 M) + 2 Fe³⁺(0.11 M) ⇒ Sn⁴⁺(0.13 M) + 2 Fe²⁺(0.0037 M)

The standard cell potential (E°) is the difference between the standard reduction potential of the cathode and the standard reduction potential of the anode.

E° = E°red,cat - E°red,an

E° = 0.771 V - 0.154 V = 0.617 V

The Nernst equation allows us to calculate the cell potential (E) under the given conditions.

E=E\° -\frac{0.05916}{n} logQ\\E=E\° -\frac{0.05916}{n} log\frac{[Sn^{+4}].[Fe^{2+}]}{[Sn^{2+}].[Fe^{3+} ]} \\E=0.617V-\frac{0.05916}{2} log\frac{(0.13).(0.0037)}{(0.0023).(0.11)} \\E=0.609V

The cell potential is 0.609 V. Given E > 0 the electrochemical cell is spontaneous as written.

Object A at 40ºC and object B at 80ºC are placed in contact with each other. Which statement describes the heat flow between the
Arada [10]
By the second law of thermodynamics:
Heat can not spontaneously flow from cold regions to hot regions without external work being performed on a system.
Heat transfer is the passage of thermal energy from a hot ( t B = 80° C ) to a colder body ( t A = 40° C ). 
Answer:  B ) Heat flows from object B to object A.
