Question

The pKsp of AgI is 16.07. If the E value for Ag+|Ag is 0.7991 V. find the E for the half cell recation AgI/(s)+eAg+I

Open in App
Solution

AgI(s)Ag++I
Ksp=[Ag+][I]
At cathode: AgI+eAg+I EoRed=?
Anode: AgAg++e EoOxide=0.7991V
Ecell=Eocell0.0591nlogX
Eocell=+0.0591nlogKsp [Ecell=0]
Eocell=0.0591npKsp [logKsp=PKsp]
=0.05911×(16.07)
=0.949V.
Eocell=Eocathode+Eoanode0.949=Eocath0.7991
Eocathode=0.2159V .
