Question

Depict the galvanic cell in which the reaction Zn(s)+2Ag+(aq)Zn2+(aq)+2Ag(s) takes place. Further show:
(i) Which of the electrode is negatively charged?
(ii) The carriers of the current in the cell.
(iii) Individual reaction at each electrode.

Solution
Verified by Toppr

The galvanic cell in which the given reaction takes place is depicted as:
Zn(s)|Zn2+(aq)||Ag+(aq)|Ag(s)
(i) The negatively charged electrode is the zinc electrode. It acts as an anode.
(ii) In the external circuit, the current will flow from silver to zinc.
(iii) Oxidation at anode: Zn(s)Zn2+(aq)+2e
Reduction at cathode: Ag+(aq)+eAg(s)
