Silver bromide, AgBr, is widely used in photography. In a photographic film, AgBr crystals are precipitated into a gelatine base as ‘grains’ of diameter about 1 × 10–6m. Calculate the approximate number of silver ions contained in a grain of AgBr of mass 2.5 × 10–12g. AgBr is only sparingly soluble in water. The [Ag+] in a saturated solution of AgBr can be estimated by measuring the Ecell of the following cell. In the spaces below, identify what the four letters A – D in the above diagram represent. A C B D Predict how the potential of the right hand electrode might vary as [Ag+] is decreased. In its saturated solution, [AgBr] = 7.1 × 10–7mol dm–3. Write an expression for the solubility product of AgBr, and calculate its value, including units. salt bridge H2, 1 atm, 298 K [Ag+] = x mol dm–3 A B C D Use Write a chemical equation representing the lattice energy of AgBr. Use the following data to calculate a value for the lattice energy of AgBr. first ionisation energy of silver = +731 kJ mol–1 electron affinity of bromine = –325 kJ mol–1 enthalpy change of atomisation of silver = +285 kJ mol–1 enthalpy change of atomisation of bromine = +112 kJ mol–1 enthalpy change of formation of AgBr= –100 kJ mol–1 How might the lattice energy of AgCl compare to that of AgBr? Explain your answer. In photography a bromide ion absorbs a photon and releases an electron which reduces a silver ion to a silver atom. Br– →Br + e– Ag+ + e– →Ag Predict whether it would require more energy or less energy to initiate this process in a AgCl emulsion, compared to a AgBr emulsion. Explain your answer. Examiner’s Use
