Q.

Pb(s)+Hg2SO4(s)PbSO4(s)+2Hg(1)Ecello=0.92VKsp(PbSO4)=2×108,Ksp(Hg2SO4)=1×106

Hence, E cell for a cell containing saturated solutions of the two salts in their respective electrodes would be:
Given [antilog (0.141) = 1.38]

Detailed Solution

Pb(s)+Hg2SO4(s)PbSO4(s)+2Hg

Can be visualized as 

Pb(s)Pbaq2++2eSO42+Pb2+PbSO4Hg2SO4Hg22++SO42Hg2SO4Hg22++SO2Hg22++2e2Hg

 same cell can be written as: 

Pb+Hg22+Pb2++2HgEcell=Ecello(EHg22+|Hg0EPb2+|Pb0)0.0592log(Pb2+)(Hg2+)=0.92+0.064×1.7=0.920.02550.89V

Now, Pb2+=KspPbSO4SO42

Hg22+=KspHg2SO4SO42Ecell0=0.92+0.0592logKspPbSO4KspHg2SO4

SO42 cancels for separate cell

Ecell=Ecell00.0592log(Pb2+)(Hg22+)Pb2+=KspPbSO4Hg2+=KspHgSO4Ecell=Ecell00.0592logKspPbSO4KspHg2SO4

=0.92+0.0592log2×1020.0594log2×102=0.92+0.0594[2log2]

=0.96V
