Two  half reactions of an electrochemical cell are given below : 
M n O 4 - ( a q )   + 8 H + ( a q )   +   5 e - M n 2 n ( a q )   + 4 H 2 O   ( l ) ; E = + 1 . 51   V S n 2 + ( a q )   S n 4 + + 2 e - ; E = - 0 . 51   V

Construct the redox equation from the standard potential of the cell and predict, if the reaction is reactant favoured or product favoured.
 

Dear student


Eocell = Ered+ Eoxi
          = 1.51+(-0.15)
          =  1.36V

Since, Eocell ​E0cell  is positive, the reaction will take place in forward direction. Thus, the reaction favours formation of products.
