Tarnished silver contains Ag2S. Can this tarnish be removed by placing tarnished silver ware in an aluminium pan containing an inert electrolytic solution such as NaCl? The standard electrode potential for half reaction:
$\text{Ag}_2\text{S(s) + 2e}^-\xrightarrow{\ \ \ \ \ \ \ }2\text{Ag(s) + S}^{2-}\text{is}-0.71\text{V}$
and for $\text{Al}^{3+}+3\text{e}^{-}\xrightarrow{ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ }2\text{Al(s) is}-1.66\text{V}$
→$\text{Ag}_2\text{S(s) + 2e}^-\xrightarrow{\ \ \ \ \ \ \ }2\text{Ag(s) + S}^{2-}\text{is}-0.71\text{V}$
and for $\text{Al}^{3+}+3\text{e}^{-}\xrightarrow{ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ }2\text{Al(s) is}-1.66\text{V}$

The treatment of alkyl chloride with aqueous KOH leads to the formation of alcohol but in the presence of alcoholic KOH, alkene is the major product.
Two half-reactions of an electrochemical cell are given below:
MnO4- (aq) + 8 H+ (aq) + 5e– → Mn2+ (aq) + 4H2O (l), Eo = +1.51 V,
Sn2+ (aq) → Sn4+ (aq) + 2e–, Eo = +0.15 V.
Construct the redox reaction equation from the two half-reactions and calculate the cell potential from the standard potentials and predict if the reaction is reactant or product favoured.
