The electrochemical cell shown below is a concentration cell. M | (saturated solution of a sparingly soluble salt, ) || (0.001 mol dm–3) | M The emf of the cell depends on the difference in concentrations of ions at the two electrodes. The emf of the cell at 298 K is 0.059 V. The solubility product (; mol3 dm–9) of at 298 K based on the information available for the given concentration cell is (take 2.303 R 298/F = 0.059 V)

Correct answer: B
- Identify the cell and the electrode reaction
The cell is:
For the electrode
this is a concentration cell, so the emf depends only on the difference in concentration.
- Use Nernst equation for concentration cell
For a concentration cell with same metal electrodes:
Here, .
Given:
So,
Hence,
One side has
The saturated solution of sparingly soluble salt must have the lower concentration. Therefore,
So,
- Relate solubility to
For
Let solubility be mol dm.
Then,
Given saturated solution has
Thus,
- Match with options
So the correct option is B.
- Comparison with stored answer
Stored correct answer: B
Derived answer: B
They agree.
