Consider a concentration cell. Two Ag-electrodes are immersed in AgNO3 solutions of different concentrations. When the two compartments have an AgNO3-concentration of 1 M and 0.1 M, respectively, the measured voltage is 0.065 V (note: T in not necessarily = 25°C !).

a. What is the voltage, if the two compartments have AgNO3-concentration of 1 M and 0.01 M, respectively?

The electrochemical behavior of silver nanoclusters (Agn, with n the number of Ag atoms in the cluster) is investigated using the following electrochemical cells at 298 K:
I. Ag(s) | AgCl (saturated) || Ag+(aq, 0.01M) | Ag(s), E=0.170
II. (Pt electrode) Agn (s, nanocluster) | Ag+(aq, 0.01M) || AgCl (saturated) | Ag(s), with E = +1.030 V for Ag5 nanocluster and E = +0.430 V for Ag10 nanocluster

The standard reduction potential for Ag+ + e- → Ag, is E0 = +0.800 V.

b. Use this data to calculate the solubility product of AgCl.

The two nanoclusters Ag5 and Ag10-nanoclusters have standard potentials different from the potential of metallic bulk silver.

c. Calculate the standard potentials of Ag5 and of Ag10 nanoclusters. [for this part use Ksp(AgCl)=1.800·10-5; this is not the same value as calculated in b.]

d. What happens, if you put the Ag10 nanoclusters and – in a second experiment – the Ag5 nanoclusters into an aqueous solution of pH=5? Estimate the consequences using the reduction potentials you calculated.
