Use electrochemical potentials to determine which of the following solutions can dissolve silver metal.



4.  

Determine Ecell at 50°C for the cell that is diagrammed below.

Cu(s)|Cu2+(aq,0.18 M) || BrO-(aq,0.25 M), pH = 10.00|Br2(l)|Pt(s)



5.  

Electrochemical cells are used to determine the pH of a solution. What is the pH at the anode in the cell that is diagrammed below? The cell potential is 0.122 V, and the temperature is 25°C.

Pt(s)|H2(g, 0.95 atm), pH = ?|| H+ (aq,1.0 M), H2(g, 0.95 atm)|Pt(s)



6.  

Use appropriate electrochemical data to determine the Ksp of AgI at 25°C.
