Solution

The correct option is B 1.10 x 10-16

KSP of AgI=[Ag+][I]=[Ag+][0.05]
For a given cell, ECell=EOxidised+EReduced
Now using Nernst equation,
ECell=EOP Ag/Ag+0.0591log[Ag+]LHS+ERPAg+/Ag+0.0591log[Ag+]RHS
0.788=0.0591log[Ag+]RHS[Ag+]LHS0.788=0.059log0.05[Ag+]LHS
[Ag+]LHS=2.203×1015KSP=2.203×1015×0.05=1.10×1016
Hence the solubility product of AgI is 1.10×1016
