Welcome to Chem Zipper.com......: For the galvanic cell: Ag|AgCl(s)| KCl (0.2M) || KBr (0.001M) |AgBr(s) |Ag : calculate the e.m.f. generated and assign correct polarity to each electrode for a spontaneous process after taking an account of cell reaction at 25°c. [Given Ksp(AgCl) = 2.8×10^-10 and Ksp(AgCl) = 3.3×10^-13]

For the galvanic cell: Ag|AgCl(s)| KCl (0.2M) || KBr (0.001M) |AgBr(s) |Ag : calculate the e.m.f. generated and assign correct polarity to each electrode for a spontaneous process after taking an account of cell reaction at 25°c. [Given Ksp(AgCl) = 2.8×10^-10 and Ksp(AgCl) = 3.3×10^-13]

Thus to get positive cellphone potential (Ecell) , the polarity of the cell should be reversed i.e cell is represented as 
Ag(s)|AgBr(s)| KBr(0.002M) || KCl (0.2M)|AgCl(s)|Ag(s):
Where 
Ag(s)|AgBr(s)| KBr(0.002M) act as Anode while KCl (0.2M)|AgCl(s)|Ag(s): act as cathode
