Question

Hello! I need help calculating the equilibrium constant for the redox reaction Sn(solid) + Zn2+(aqueous) ⇌ Sn2+(aqueous) + Zn(solid)

Sn2+ ⇌ + 2e−   Sn(solid)

E° =−0.141 V

 

Zn2+ ⇌ + 2e−   Zn(solid)

E° =−0.762 V

 

My professor said the answer should be about 1.2 x 10-21, but I'm unsure how he came up with that value
