Question

The standard reduction potential of the Ag⁺/Ag electrode at 298 K is 0.799 V. Given that for AgI, K_sp = 8.7 x 10^-17, evaluate the potential of the Ag⁺/Ag electrode in a saturated solution of AgI. Also calculate the standard reduction potential of the I^-/ AgI/Ag electrode

Answer 1

K_sp of AgI = [ Ag⁺][I^-] = 8.7 x 10^-17

ln a saturated solution of AgI
