The pKsp of AgI is 16.07. If the E∘ value for Ag+/Ag is 0.7991 V, If the E∘ for the half cell reaction AgI+e−→Ag+I−, in Volts is 149×10−x, then what is the value of x?

Solution
The expression for the standard emf of the cell is E0I−|AgI|Ag=E0Ag+|Ag+0.0592logKsp=E0Ag+|Ag−0.0592pKsp=0.7991−0.0592×16.07=−0.149V
