The standard electrode of a metal ion `(Ag|Ag^(o+))` and metal `-` insoluble salt anion `(Ag|AgCl|Cl^(c-))` are related as
(a)`E^(c-)._(Ag^(o+)|Ag)=E^(c-)._(Cl^(c-)|AgCl|Ag)+(RT)/(F)ln K_(sp)`
(b)`E^(c-)._(Cl^(c-)|AgCl|Ag)=E^(c-)._(Ag^(o+)\Ag)+(RT)/(F)lnK_(sp)`
(c)`E^(c-)._(Ag^(o+)|Ag)=E^(c-)._(Cl^(c-)|AgCl|Ag)+(RT)/(F)ln.([Cl^(c-)])/(K_(sp))`
(d) `E^(c-)._(Cl^(c-)|AgCl|Ag)=E^(c-)._(Ag^(o+)|Ag)+(RT)/(F)ln.(K_(sp))/([Cl^(c-)])`

A

`E^(c-)._(Ag^(o+)|Ag)=E^(c-)._(Cl^(c-)|AgCl|Ag)+(RT)/(F)ln K_(sp)`

B

`E^(c-)._(Cl^(c-)|AgCl|Ag)=E^(c-)._(Ag^(o+)\Ag)+(RT)/(F)lnK_(sp)`

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the relationship between the standard electrode potentials of the given half-cells and the solubility product constant (Ksp) for the silver chloride (AgCl) system. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Half-Reactions**: - For the reduction of silver chloride: \[ \text{AgCl (s)} + e^- \rightarrow \text{Ag (s)} + \text{Cl}^-(aq) \] - For the oxidation of silver: \[ \text{Ag (s)} \rightarrow \text{Ag}^+(aq) + e^- \] 2. **Write the Overall Reaction**: The overall reaction combining both half-reactions is: \[ \text{AgCl (s)} \rightleftharpoons \text{Ag}^+(aq) + \text{Cl}^-(aq) \] 3. **Equilibrium Condition**: At equilibrium, the cell potential \(E_{cell}\) is zero, which implies: \[ Q_{cell} = K_{sp} \] where \(Q_{cell}\) is the reaction quotient. 4. **Using the Nernst Equation**: The Nernst equation relates the standard cell potential to the concentrations of the products and reactants: \[ E_{cell} = E^\circ_{cell} - \frac{RT}{F} \ln Q \] Since \(E_{cell} = 0\) at equilibrium, we can rearrange the equation: \[ 0 = E^\circ_{cell} - \frac{RT}{F} \ln K_{sp} \] This leads to: \[ E^\circ_{cell} = \frac{RT}{F} \ln K_{sp} \] 5. **Expressing \(E^\circ_{cell}\)**: The standard cell potential can be expressed in terms of the individual half-cell potentials: \[ E^\circ_{cell} = E^\circ_{Ag^+|Ag} - E^\circ_{AgCl|Ag} \] 6. **Rearranging the Equation**: Rearranging gives us: \[ E^\circ_{AgCl|Ag} = E^\circ_{Ag^+|Ag} - \frac{RT}{F} \ln K_{sp} \] 7. **Final Formulation**: This can be rewritten as: \[ E^\circ_{Cl^-|AgCl|Ag} = E^\circ_{Ag^+|Ag} + \frac{RT}{F} \ln K_{sp} \] ### Conclusion: From the analysis, we find that the correct relationship is: \[ E^\circ_{Cl^-|AgCl|Ag} = E^\circ_{Ag^+|Ag} + \frac{RT}{F} \ln K_{sp} \] This corresponds to option (b): \[ E^{c-}_{Cl^{-}|AgCl|Ag} = E^{c-}_{Ag^{+}|Ag} + \frac{RT}{F} \ln K_{sp} \]
