One half cell in a voltaic cell is constructed by dipping silver rod in $\mathrm{AgNO}_3$ solution of unknown concentration, other half cell is Zn rod dipped in 1 molar solution of $\mathrm{ZnSO}_4$.
A voltage of 1.60 V is measured at 298 K for this cell. What is the concentration of $\mathrm{Ag}^{+}$ions used in terms of $\log x\left(x=\left[\mathrm{Ag}^{+}\right]\right)$?
$$ \mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{Zn}^{2+} / \mathrm{Zn}}^{\ominus}=-0.76 \mathrm{~V}, \quad \mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{Ag}^{+} / \mathrm{Ag}}^{\ominus}=+0.80 \mathrm{~V}, \frac{2.303 \mathrm{RT}}{\mathrm{~F}}=0.059 \mathrm{~V} $$
An electrochemical cell is constructed using half cells in the direction of spontaneous change:
Fe(OH)2(s) + 2e− → Fe(s) + 2OH−(aq) Eθ = −0.88 V
and AgBr(s) + e− → Ag(s) + Br−(aq) Eθ = +0.07 V
