One half cell in a voltaic cell is constructed by dipping a silver rod in an $AgNO_3$ solution of unknown concentration,and the other half cell is a $Zn$ rod dipped in a $1 \text{ M}$ solution of $ZnSO_4$. $A$ voltage of $1.60 \text{ V}$ is measured at $298 \text{ K}$ for this cell. What is the concentration of $Ag^+$ ions in terms of $\log x$ (where $x = [Ag^+]$)? Given: $E^\ominus_{Zn^{2+}/Zn} = -0.76 \text{ V}$,$E^\ominus_{Ag^+/Ag} = +0.80 \text{ V}$,and $\frac{2.303RT}{F} = 0.059 \text{ V}$.
