Two half cell reactions of an electrochemical cell are given below : `MnO_(4)^(-)(aq)+8H^(+)(aq)+5e^(-),toMn^(2+)(aq)+4H_(2)O(l),E^(@)=+1.51V` `Sn^(2+)(aq)toSn^(4+)(aq)+2e^(-),E^(@)=+0.51V` Construct the redox equation from the two half cell reactions and predict if theis reaction favours formation of reaction or product shown in the equation.
