Answer:
Electrons will flow from left to right through the wire.
Pb^2+ ions will be reduccd to Pb metal.
The concentration of Sn2+ ions in the left compartment will increase.
Explanation:
Looking at the relative electrode potentials of the two metals
Sn= -0.14
Pb=-0.13
Tin is expected to function as the anode (left hand half cell) and lead as the anode (right hand half cell) tin oxidizes to sn^2+ hence its concentration increases on the left compartment while lead is reduced to ordinary lead metal on the right hand half cell . since oxidation occurs on the left hand side, electrons flow from left to right.
<span>Colligative properties are properties of solutions that depend on the number of molecules [or ions] in a given volume of solvent and not on the properties (e.g. size or mass) of the compound. Colligative properties include: lowering of vapor pressure; elevation of boiling point; depression of freezing point and osmotic pressure.</span>
