Missing question: volume of <span>solution on the left is 10 mL.
V</span>₁(solution) = 10 Ml.
c₁(solution) = 0.2 M.<span>
V</span>₂(solution)
= ?.<span>
c</span>₂(solution)
= 0.04 M.<span>
c</span>₁ -
original concentration of the solution, before it gets diluted.<span>
c</span>₂
- final concentration of the solution, after dilution.<span>
V</span>₁
- <span>volume to
be diluted.
V</span>₂ - <span>final volume after
dilution.
c</span>₁ · V₁ = c₂ · V₂<span>.
</span>10 mL · 0.2 M = 0.04 M · V₂.
V₂(solution) = 10 mL · 0.2 M ÷ 0.04 M.
V₂(solution) = 50 mL.<span>

Answer:
Part A. The half-cell B is the cathode and the half-cell A is the anode
Part B. 0.017V
Explanation:
Part A
The electrons must go from the anode to the cathode. At the anode oxidation takes place, and at the cathode a reduction, so the flow of electrons must go from the less concentrated solution to the most one (at oxidation the concentration intends to increase, and at the reduction, the concentration intends to decrease).
So, the half-cell B is the cathode and the half-cell A is the anode.
Part B
By the Nersnt equation:
E°cell = E° - (0.0592/n)*log[anode]/[cathode]
Where n is the number of electrons being changed in the reaction, in this case, n = 2 (Sn goes from S⁺²). Because the half-reactions are the same, the reduction potential of the anode is equal to the cathode, and E° = 0 V.
E°cell = 0 - (0.0592/2)*log(0.23/0.87)
E°cell = 0.017V
That's a ionic compound because it has a metal and polyatomic parts within the chemical formula.
