20. Electrochemistry / Cell Notation / Problem 1

Consider the galvanic cell shown below with a potential of 1.369 V at 25°C

Pb(s) | PbCl2(s) | Cl(0.20 M) || Cr2O72–(0.20 M), Cr3+(0.20 M), H+(0.20 M) | Pt(s)

Determine the Ksp value for PbCl2(s). 

Cr2O72–(aq) + 14 H+(aq) + 6 e → 2 Cr3+(aq) + 7 H2O(l)          E°red = 1.232 V
Pb2+(aq) + 2 e → Pb(s)                                                            E°red = –0.126 V
