The standard reduction potentials for two reactions are given below: `AgCl(s)+e^(-)toAg(s)+Cl^(-)(aq),E^(@)=0.22V` ltBrgt `Ag^(+)(aq)+e^(-)toAg(s),E^(@)=0.80V` Calculate the solubility product of AgCl under standard conditions of temperature (298K). |
Answer» Subtracting second eqn. from the first eqn., we get `AgCl(s)hArrAg^(+)(aq)+Cl^(-)(aq),E^(@)=-0.58V` Applying nernst equation, `E=E^(@)-(0.0591)/(1)"log"([Ag^(+)][Cl^(-)])/([AgCl(s)])` Putting `AgCl(s)=1` and at equilibrium `E=0` `E^(@)=0.0591log[Ag^(+)][Cl^(-)]=0.0591logK_(sp)` `-0.58=0.0591" log "K_(sp)" or log "K_(sp)=-9.8139=overline(10).1861` or `K_(sp)="Antilog "overline(10).1861=1.535xx10^(-10)`. |
