Question

To measure the solubility product of lead (II) iodide (PbI2) at 25°C, you constructed a galvanic cell that is similar to what you used in the lab. The cell contains a 0.5 M solution of a lead (II) nitrate in one compartment that connects by a salt bridge to a 1.0 M solution of potassium iodide saturated with PbI2 in the other compartment. Then you inserted two lead electrodes into each half-cell compartment and closed the circuit with wires. What is the expected voltage generated by this concentration cell? Ksp for PbI2 is 1.4 x 10-8. Show all calculations for a credit.

Answer 1

Answer:

0.2320V

Explanation:

Voltage can be defined as the amount of potential energy available (work to be done) per unit charge, to move charges through a conductor.

Voltage can be generated by means other than rubbing certain types of materials against each other.
