    For the following cell reaction
    \[Pb(s)+H{{g}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}(s)PbS{{O}_{4}}(s)+2Hg(l)\] \[E_{cell}^{o}=0.92V\]
    \[{{K}_{sp}}(PbS{{O}_{4}})=2\times {{10}^{-8}},\]\[{{K}_{sp}}(H{{g}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}})=1\times {{10}^{-6}}\]
    Hence, \[{{E}_{cell}}\] is

    A) 0.92 V

    B) 0.89 V

    C) 1.04 V

    D) 0.95 V

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] \[Q=\frac{[P{{b}^{2+}}]}{[Hg_{2}^{2+}]}=\frac{\sqrt{{{K}_{sp}}(PbS{{O}_{4}})}}{\sqrt{{{K}_{sp}}(H{{g}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}})}}\]
    \[=\frac{\sqrt{2\times {{10}^{-8}}}}{\sqrt{1\times {{10}^{-6}}}}\]
    \[=\sqrt{2\times {{10}^{-2}}}=0.14\]
    \[{{E}_{cell}}=E_{cell}^{o}-\frac{0.059}{2}\log 0.14\]
    \[=0.92-0.0295\text{ }log\text{ }0.14\]
    \[=0.95V\]
