Question

Aqueous tin(II)\operatorname{tin}(\mathrm{II}) ion, Sn2+(aq)\mathrm{Sn}^{2+}(\mathrm{aq}), is a good reducing agent. Use data from Appendix D to determine whether Sn2+(aq)\mathrm{Sn}^{2+}(\mathrm{aq}) is a sufficiently good reducing agent to reduce
(d) Pb2+(aq)\mathrm{Pb}^{2+}(\mathrm{aq}) to Pb(s)\mathrm{Pb}(\mathrm{s}).

We have to determine is tin(II) ion, Sn2+^{2+}(aq) good enough reducing agent to reduce the given compound.
If a compound is a reducing agent it means it has the ability to reduce another compound by oxidizing itself.

To be able to reduce another compound it has to have more negative E° potential of the reduction, which means that the agent will be oxidized.

The reduction reaction of Sn2+^{2+}(aq) with the standard potential is:

Sn2+(aq)+eSn(s)E°=0.137 V\mathrm{ Sn^{2+}(aq) + e^- \rightarrow Sn(s)} \qquad E°= -0.137 \text{ V}
