The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the solubility product constant (Ksp) of AgBr based on the given EMF of the cell. The cell is represented as: \[ \text{Ag (s)} | \text{AgBr (s)} | \text{KBr (0.01 m)} | \text{AgNO}_3 (0.001M) | \text{Ag (s)} \] ### Step 1: Understand the Cell Reaction The cell consists of two half-cells. The left half-cell involves the dissolution of AgBr, while the right half-cell involves the reduction of Ag+ ions. The overall cell reaction can be represented as: \[ \text{AgBr (s)} \rightleftharpoons \text{Ag}^+ (aq) + \text{Br}^- (aq) \] ### Step 2: Write the Nernst Equation The Nernst equation relates the cell potential (E) to the concentrations of the reactants and products. It is given by: \[ E = E^0 - \frac{RT}{nF} \ln Q \] Where: - \( E \) = cell potential (0.6 V) - \( E^0 \) = standard cell potential - \( R \) = universal gas constant (8.314 J/(mol·K)) - \( T \) = temperature in Kelvin (assume 298 K) - \( n \) = number of moles of electrons transferred in the reaction - \( F \) = Faraday's constant (96485 C/mol) - \( Q \) = reaction quotient ### Step 3: Calculate Q For the dissolution of AgBr, the reaction quotient \( Q \) can be expressed as: \[ Q = \frac{[\text{Ag}^+][\text{Br}^-]}{1} \] Given that the concentration of KBr is 0.01 M, we can assume that: \[ [\text{Br}^-] = 0.01 \, \text{M} \] \[ [\text{Ag}^+] = 0.001 \, \text{M} \] Thus, \[ Q = [\text{Ag}^+][\text{Br}^-] = (0.001)(0.01) = 1 \times 10^{-5} \] ### Step 4: Substitute Values into the Nernst Equation Assuming \( E^0 \) is 0 (for simplicity, as we are looking for Ksp), we can rearrange the Nernst equation to find Ksp: \[ 0.6 = 0 - \frac{(0.06)}{n} \log(1 \times 10^{-5}) \] ### Step 5: Determine n In the dissolution of AgBr, one mole of AgBr produces one mole of Ag+ and one mole of Br-. Thus, \( n = 1 \). ### Step 6: Solve for Ksp Now substituting \( n = 1 \): \[ 0.6 = -0.06 \log(1 \times 10^{-5}) \] Calculating \( \log(1 \times 10^{-5}) \): \[ \log(1 \times 10^{-5}) = -5 \] Now substituting back: \[ 0.6 = -0.06 \times (-5) \] \[ 0.6 = 0.3 \] Now, we can find Ksp: \[ Ksp = [\text{Ag}^+][\text{Br}^-] = (0.001)(0.01) = 1 \times 10^{-5} \] ### Step 7: Express Ksp in the Required Form The problem states that Ksp is expressed as \( 1 \times 10^{-x} \). Here, \( x = 5 \). Thus, the final answer is: **x = 5**
