A galvanic (voltaic) cell consists of an inert platinum electrode in a solution containing 1.0 M tin(IV) ion and 1.0 M tin(II) ion, and another inert platinum electrode in a solution containing 1.0 M cobalt(III) ion and 1.0 M cobalt(II) ion, connected by a salt bridge. Calculate the standard potential for this cell at 25 °C. Standard reduction potentials can be found here.

Refer to the above webpage for the standard reduction potentials.
Different answer may be obtained when different source of standard reduction potentials is used.

Sn⁴⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ ⇌ Sn²⁺(aq) …. E° = +0.15 V
Co³⁺(aq) + e⁻ ⇌ Co²⁺(aq) …. E° = +1.82 V

Refer to the standard reduction potentials. Co³⁺ ion is a stronger oxidizing agent than Sn⁴⁺ ion.
Hence, Co³⁺ ion undergoes reduction to form Co²⁺ ion, and Sn²⁺ ion undergoes oxidation to form Sn⁴⁺ ion.
The overall reaction is :
2Co³⁺(aq) + Sn²⁺(aq) → 2Co²⁺(aq) + Sn⁴⁺(aq) …. E°(cell)

Standard potential for the cell, E°(cell)
= (+1.82) - (+0.15) V
= +1.67 V
