Chapter 6, Problem 50E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The value of $K_{\text{sp}}$ for $\text{AgSCN}$ is to be calculated.

Concept introduction: The value of $K_{\text{sp}}$ for $\text{AgSCN}$ is related to $\Delta G^{\circ }$ which is related to the $E_{\text{cell}}^{\circ }$ of cell. So, the value of $K_{\text{sp}}$ for $\text{AgSCN}$ is calculated by using the formula,

$\ln K_{\text{sp}}=-\frac{\Delta G^{\circ }}{RT}$

$\Delta G^{\circ }=-nF{E}_{\text{cell}}^{\circ }$

To determine: The value of $K_{\text{sp}}$ for $\text{AgSCN}$ .
