Question

The emf of the following cell is 0.7995 V.
$P t | H_{2} (1 a t m) | H N O_{3} (1 M) | | A g N O_{3} (1 M) | A g$
If we add enough $K C l$ to the $A g$ half cell so that the final $C l^{-}$ is 1M, then the measured emf of the cell is 0.222V. The $K_{s p}$ of AgCl would be :

1 \times 10^{- 9.8}

Solution

The correct option is B $1 \times 10^{- 9.8}$
$2 A g^{+} + H_{2} ⇌ 2 H^{+} + 2 A g$
$E = E^{o} - \frac{0.0591}{2} l o g \frac{(H^{+})^{2}}{P_{H_{2}} \times (A g^{+})^{2}}$ ---- 1

Substitute $E = 0.222 V, E^{o} = 0.7995 V, P_{H_{2}} = 1 a t m$ and $[H^{+}] = 1 M$ to get,
$[A g^{+}] = 10^{- 9.8}$ from equation 1.
Now,

$K s p = [A g^{+}] [C l^{-}] = (10^{- 9.8}) \times (1) = 1 \times 10^{- 9.8}$
