Consider a concentration cell that has both electrodes made of some metal M. Solution A in one
Question:
Consider a concentration cell that has both electrodes made of some metal M. Solution A in one compartment of the cell contains 1.0 M M2+. Solution B in the other cell compartment has a volume of 1.00 L. At the beginning of the experiment 0.0100 mole of M(NO3)2 and 0.0100 mole of Na2SO4 are dissolved in solution B (ignore volume changes), where the reaction
occurs. For this reaction equilibrium is rapidly established, whereupon the cell potential is found to be 0.44 V at 25οC. Assume that the process
has a standard reduction potential of -0.31 V and that no other redox process occurs in the cell. Calculate the value of Ksp for MSO4(s) at 25οC.
