The reaction occurs in which of the given galvanic cell? {1}{2}{H_2(g)} + {AgCl(s)} {H^+(aq)} + {Cl^-(aq)} + {Ag(s)}
Electrochemistry · Class 12 · JEE Main Previous Year Question
The reaction occurs in which of the given galvanic cell?
- a✓
- b
- c
- d
Strategy: Break down the given net cell reaction into its oxidation (anode) and reduction (cathode) half-cells. Then, construct the cell notation following the "Anode | Solution | Cathode" convention.
Step 1: Identify half-reactions
- Anode (Oxidation): . This requires a Platinum (Pt) electrode and acidic medium.
- Cathode (Reduction): . This is a metal-insoluble salt electrode.
Step 2: Construct cell notation
- Anode Side:
- Cathode Side:
- Electrolytic bridge: Both half-reactions can occur in an environment containing and (i.e., ).
Conclusion: The notation is .
