Textbook Question

Chapter 19, Problem 33PS

One half-cell in a voltaic cell is constructed from a silver wire electrode in a AgNO₃ solution of unknown concentration. The other half-cell consists of a zinc electrode in a 1.0 M solution of Zn(NO₃)₂. A potential of 1.48 V is measured for this cell. Use this information to calculate the concentration of Ag⁺(aq).
