Nernst equation Eq concentrations
« on: December 09, 2010, 07:06:38 PM »
Hi in the following  electrochemical reaction Ag+ + 2NH3  :rarrow: Ag(NH3)2+

The voltaic cell reaction was done twice . and the potentials measured were (a)Ecell= 0.07V and (b)Ecell= 0.10V .

I need to calculate the concentration of [Ag+] at equilibrium in each reaction using the Nernst equation (and the Ecell)I cannot figure out how to arrange the equation to get this.

Other information I have is Eo =0.55 V and T= 292 K

PLEASE help.. I have spent hours trying to solve this.please

What is the electrode reaction? How does the reaction quotient look like?

Hi the initial concentrations were [AgNO3] 0.01M for solution (a)
and [NH3] 0.8M for solution (a)

The concentration  of [AgNO3] 0.01M for solution (b)and [NH3] 0.4M for solution (b)

Please help calculate the concenrations at Equilibrium

Answer my questions.
Sorry, I think Q= (Red/Ox)  :rarrow: Q=(0.01)/(0. 8 ) ? = 0.0125 for solution (a)?
Thanks

Geez, is it really that hard to read what I posted? Don't make me ask the same questions again and again - at some point I will simply refuse to help any longer.

I am sorry my mind is confused over this problem:
 :rarrow:  Ag|Ag+ NO3-||Ag+ Cl -|Ag

Hi I got 2.6 x 10-4M for [Ag+] for solution (a) does this look correct please?
