Question

If the half-cell, Ag(S2O3)23- (0.00753 M), Na2S2O3 (0.1439 M) | Ag, is the right-hand electrode in a galvanic cell with a SHE on the left
(a) write the full shorthand notation of the electrochemical cells;
(b) Given the formation constant, β2, of Ag(S2O3)23- = 1.62x1013, calculate the cell potential;
(c) If the cell were shorted, indicate whether the Ag(S2O3)23-, Na2S2O3 | Ag electrode would act as an anode or a cathode.
