A concentration cell with a cell potential of +0.4759 V at 298 K is made using silver electrodes and aqueous silver ion solutions at 298 K.In one compartment, the Ag⁺ concentration is 1.000 M.In the other compartment, the Ag⁺concentration is due to the dissolution of slightly soluble AgI.Calculate the concentration of the Ag⁺ in the saturated AgI solution.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The cell potential in a concentration cell is determined by the Nernst equation, which relates the potential to the concentrations of the reactants and products. Given the cell potential and the concentration in one compartment, the concentration in the other compartment can be calculated using this equation. The correct answer involves calculating the concentration of Ag+ in the compartment with AgI, which requires understanding of electrochemistry and solubility equilibria, not additional information.
