Problem

Consider the cell Ag∣AgBr(s)∣Br−∣∣AgCl(s)∣Cl−∣Ag\text{Ag}|\text{AgBr}(s)|\text{Br}^- || \text{AgCl}(s)|\text{Cl}^-|\text{Ag} at 25°C. The solubility product of AgCl and AgBr are 1×10−101 \times 10^{-10} and 5×10−135 \times 10^{-13} respectively. For what ratio of concentration of Br−\text{Br}^- and Cl−\text{Cl}^- ions would the emf of cell be zero?
