Question

Ag(s)|AgBr(s)|Br(0.01M)||Cl(0.2M)|AgCl(s)|Ag(s)
If Ksp of AgBr and AgCl at 25 C are 1012 and 1010 respectively, then find which of the following option(s) is/are true for above cell at 25 C.
(Given : log2=0.3)

A
As EAg+/Ag is not given so Ecell can not be determined

Solution

The correct option is C ΔG<0
E0Cl/AgCl/Ag=E0Ag+/Ag+RTFlnKsp .......(i)E0Br/AgBr/Ag=E0Ag+/Ag+RTFlnKsp .......(ii)
As E0Ag+/Ag will be cancelled on substraction (i) and (ii), then E0cell can be determined.
Ecell=E0cell0.05911log0.20.01
E0cell=E0Cl/AgCl/AgE0Br/AgBr/Ag=0.0591×log10100.0591×log1012=0.0591×2 V

Ecell=0.0591×20.0591log20=0.041 V
ΔG=nFEcell
ΔG is negative.
ΔG<0
