Single correct option
A concentration cell is set up as at . Its EMF is measured as . Take . Assuming ideal behaviour, the solubility product of is
- A.
- B.
- C.
- D.
Show answer and solution
Answer: (A)
Both half cells are , so and . The right electrode (0.10 M) is the cathode, so , giving and in the left half cell. In that half cell the chromate concentration is fixed by the added (the contribution from dissolution is negligible), M. Hence . Option (B) uses alone, (C) uses (no square), and (D) wrongly doubles the silver-ion concentration, taking M, which gives .
