The ionic strength (\( I \)) of a solution is a measure of the total concentration of ions in that solution. It is given by the formula: \[ I = \frac{1}{2} \sum_i c_i z_i^2 \] where:
For the given solution, we have two solutes: NaCl and CaCl\(_2\). Assuming complete dissociation, we can determine the concentration of each ion in the solution.
Therefore, the ionic strength of the solution is 0.13 molal.
For the given cell: \[ {Fe}^{2+}(aq) + {Ag}^+(aq) \to {Fe}^{3+}(aq) + {Ag}(s) \] The standard cell potential of the above reaction is given. The standard reduction potentials are given as: \[ {Ag}^+ + e^- \to {Ag} \quad E^\circ = x \, {V} \] \[ {Fe}^{2+} + 2e^- \to {Fe} \quad E^\circ = y \, {V} \] \[ {Fe}^{3+} + 3e^- \to {Fe} \quad E^\circ = z \, {V} \] The correct answer is:
