Homework Statement


A galvanic cell consisting of two silver electrodes,one in a saturated solution of AgBr and the other in a saturated solution of Ag2CrO4 is prepared.Calculate the value of Ecell at 298K Given Ksp(AgBr) = 5x10-13 M2 and
Ksp(Ag2CrO4)=2.4x10-12M3


Homework Equations


to find conc from Ksp
and
Nernst equation

The Attempt at a Solution



I got the conc of Ag+ in both the solutions ... but i don't know how to substitute them...(means ...i don't know which comes in the numerator of the logarithm)
and Is the value of E0 to be taken as 0? How ?

pls help...

thanks in advance:smile:
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Report the potential as positive. E0 cancels out, but technically you should use value for the Ag(s)/Ag+ system.
 
thank you sir...

i am getting it now...:smile:
