there are half reaction
AgI(s) + e -⇌ Ag(s) + I-(aq) E° = -0.150 V
Ag+(aq) + e-⇌Ag (s) E° =0,80 V
a) Calculate the standard potential of the reaction: AgI(s) + e - ⇌ Ag(s) + I-(aq)
b) Calculate the solubility product K(s) du AgI (s)
a) the standard potential of the reaction: AgI(s) + e - ⇌ Ag(s) + I-(aq)
Ksp = [Ag+] [I¯]
AgI(s) + e - ⇌ Ag(s) + I-(aq) E° = -0.150 V
Ag+(aq) + e-⇌Ag (s) E° = 0.80 V
Eo = 0.80-(-0.150) = 0.950V
Use the Nernst Equation:
Ecell = Eo - (0.0591 / n) log K
0 = -0.95 - (0.0591 / 1) log K
0.95 / -0.0591 = log K
log K = -16.07
K = 8.51 x 10¯17
b) The solubility product Ksp = 8.51 x 10¯17
Note that you never have to use the Ksp expression to calculate anything.
The Ksp is determined directly from the electrochemical data.
