This is a galvanic cell with silver (Ag) as the anode and the cathode consisting of silver chloride (AgCl) and a silver nitrate (AgNO3) solution. The overall cell reaction involves the oxidation of silver at the anode and the reduction of silver ions at the cathode:
This is a galvanic cell with silver (Ag) as the anode and the cathode consisting of silver chloride (AgCl) and a silver nitrate (AgNO3) solution. The overall cell reaction involves the oxidation of silver at the anode and the reduction of silver ions at the cathode:
Anode: Ag(s) → Ag+(aq) + e-
Cathode: Ag+(aq) + e- → Ag(s)
The cell reaction is:
Ag(s) + AgCl(s) + AgNO3(aq) → AgCl(s) + Ag(s) + Ag+(aq) + NO3-(aq)
This reaction results in the deposition of silver metal on the cathode.
