textMX is a sparingly soluble salt that follows the given solubility equilibrium at 298 K: textMX(texts) rightleftharpoons textM^+(textaq) + textX^-(textaq); quad K_textsp = 10^-10 If the standard reduction potential for textM^+(textaq) rightarrow textM(texts) is (E_textM^+/textM^ominus) = 0.79 text V, then the value of the standard reduction potential for the metal/metal insoluble salt electrode E_textX^-/textMX(texts)/textM^ominus is \_\_\_\_ text mV. (nearest integer) [Given: frac2.303RTF = 0.059 text V]

Solution & Explanation

### Related Formula E_textX^-/textMX/textM^circ = E_textM^+/textM^circ + frac0.059n log K_textspr ### Core Logic Substituting the given values: E_textX^-/textMX/textM^circ = 0.79 + frac0.0591 log(10^-10) E_textX^-/textMX/textM^circ = 0.79 + 0.059(-10) = 0.79 - 0.59 = 0.20 text V ### Step 1: Converting to Millivolts 0.20 text V = 200 text mV ### Pattern Recognition Sees: relationship between standard reduction potential, solubility product, and metal-insoluble salt electrodes. Trap: Sign or logarithmic base calculation errors. ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Chemistry: Electrochemistry
