## Determination of \( K_{sp} \) using a Concentration Cell

### Experiment Setup

A concentration cell was configured to determine the solubility product (\( K_{sp} \)) of a specific insoluble salt, MN. The cell setup is represented as follows:

\[ \text{M(s)} \mid \text{MN(aq)} \parallel \text{M}^+ \text{(aq, 1.00 M)} \mid \text{M(s)} \]

### Measurement

The electromotive force (\( E_{\text{cell}} \)) recorded by the voltmeter was 0.36 V.

### Objective

To calculate the \( K_{sp} \) of the salt MN from the measured cell potential.
