Solution
The correct option is A1.10×10−16 Ag|AgI(0.05)M KI || (0.05)M AgNO3 | Ag Ksp of AgI = [Ag+][I−]=[Ag+][0.05] For the given cell Ecell=Eoxidisedproduct(Ag)+Ereducedproduct(Ag) Using Nerst equation: Ecell=EAg/Ag+−0.0591log[Ag+]LHS+EAg+/Ag+0.0591log[Ag+]RHS 0.788=0.0591log[Ag+]RHS[Ag+]LHS 0.788=0.059log0.05[Ag+]LHS [Ag+]LHS=2.203×10−15 ∴Ksp(AgI)=2.203×10−15×0.05=1.10×10−16
