A voltaic cell is constructed with two silver-silver chloride electrodes,where the half-reaction is

\quad

\quad

AgCl(s) +

\mathrm { e } ^ { - }

? Ag(s) +

\mathrm { Cl } ^ { - }

(aq) E° = +0.222 V
The concentrations of chloride ion in the two compartments are 0.0557 mol L^-1 and 5.31 mol L^-1,respectively.The cell emf is ________ V.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The cell emf can be calculated using the Nernst equation. The concentration difference of chloride ions creates a potential difference, and the Nernst equation accounts for this. The calculated emf is approximately 0.117 V.
