A common reference electrode consists of a silver wire coated with AgCl(s) and immersed in 1 M KCl.
AgCl(s) + e- ----> Ag(s) + Cl- (1 M) E0= +0.2223 V
a.) What is E0cell when this electrode is a cathode in combination with a zinc electrode as an anode?
I'm not sure if I'm supposed to break the above reaction down or just keep it as it is. For the zinc electrode, I have: Zn 2+ (aq) + 2 e- ------> Zn(s) E0= -0.763 V
b) By comparing the potential of a silver-silver chloride electrode with that of the standard silver electrode, determine Ksp for AgCl.
I have: AgCl(s) + e- ----> Ag(s) + Cl- (1 M) and I can't find anything about just a standard silver electrode, so I don't know what to do to determine Ksp
Please show detailed explanations of the steps! Thanks
