For the given reactions:
$Sn^{2+} + 2e^{-} \rightarrow Sn$
$Sn^{4+} + 4e^{-} \rightarrow Sn$
The electrode potentials are $E^{\circ}_{Sn^{2+}/Sn} = -0.140 \ V$ and $E^{\circ}_{Sn^{4+}/Sn} = 0.010 \ V$. The magnitude of standard electrode potential for $Sn^{4+}/Sn^{2+}$,i.e.,$E^{\circ}_{Sn^{4+}/Sn^{2+}}$,is $..... \times 10^{-2} \ V$. (Nearest integer)
