Explanation / Answer

The reaction is

BrO3-(aq) + Sn+2(aq) ---> Br2(l) + Sn+4(aq)

Reducion Half cell : ( cathode)

2BrO3-    +   12H+    + 10e --> Br2 + 6H2O

Oxidation half cell   (anode)

Sn+2 --> Sn+4 + 2e ] X 5

Overall reaction = 2BrO3-    +   12H+    + 5Sn+2 --> 5Sn+4 + Br2 + 6H2O ( balanced)

E0cell = E0cathode - E0anode

From table E0cathode = 1.48

E0anode = 0.154

So E0cell = 1.48- 0.154 = 1.326 V

Ecell = E0cell - 0.0592 / 10 log Q

Q = [Sn+4]5 / [Sn+2]5 [H+]12 [BrO3-]2

Q = [0.01]5 / [0.01]5 [0.01]12 [0.01]2

Q = (0.01)-14 = 10^-28

So Ecell = 1.326 - 0.00592 log 10^-28 = 1.326 - 0.165 = 1.161

So the reaction will be spontaneous as Ecell is positive
