A half cell reaction: Ag2S(s)+2e⟶2Ag(s)+S2−\text{Ag}_2\text{S}_{(s)} + 2e \longrightarrow 2\text{Ag}_{(s)} + \text{S}^{2-} is carried out in a half cell Pt ∣ Ag2S/Ag, H2S (0.1 M)\text{Pt}\,|\,\text{Ag}_2\text{S}/\text{Ag},\,\text{H}_2\text{S}\,(0.1\,\text{M}), at [H+]=10−3[\text{H}^+] = 10^{-3}. The emf of a half cell is: [if EAg+/Ag∘=0.80 VE_{\text{Ag}^+/\text{Ag}}^\circ = 0.80\,\text{V}, Ka H2S=10−21K_{a\,\text{H}_2\text{S}} = 10^{-21} and KspK_{sp} of Ag2S=10−49\text{Ag}_2\text{S} = 10^{-49}] a. −0.1735 V-0.1735 \text{ V} b. −0.19 V-0.19 \text{ V} c. +0.1735 V+0.1735 \text{ V} d. +0.19 V+0.19 \text{ V}
