Electrolytic Cell Concentrations?
« on: May 09, 2010, 05:36:23 PM »
Im going over the exams that Ive taken to prepare for the big one.... Prob is, I got a zero on this question back then, and I'm pretty sure its going to come up again... Ive stared at it for 2 days without a result...


A concentration cell with silver electrodes has an anode containing 0.20M NaCl saturated with AgCl and a a cathode containing 0.20M AgNO3. If Ecell is 0.494V at 25 C, determine Ksp for AgCl....

The math is no problem, I'm just having a problem with the setup.

Help would be appreciated.


By the way, the answer is 1.8x10^-10

Can you write down the equations for the cell potential and Ksp?

Your first step is to write down the reaction occurring at the anode.  Which substance is oxidized?
