Chapter 6, Problem 6D.2BE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The equilibrium constant for the dissolution of ${\text{Bi}}_{\text{2}}{\text{S}}_{\text{3}}\left(\text{s}\right)$ in the cell $\text{Bi}\left(\text{s}\right)\left|{\text{Bi}}_2{\text{S}}_3\left(\text{s}\right)\right|{\text{Bi}}_2{\text{S}}_3\left(\text{aq}\right)|\text{Bi}\left(\text{s}\right)$ at $\text{25}\text{°C}$ has to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

The standard cell potential is the potential of the cell where the cell forms the right hand electrode while the standard hydrogen electrode acts as the left hand electrode.  It is the reaction Gibbs energy expressed as potential difference.
