Depict the galvanic cell in which the reaction is: Z n_{(s)}+2 \mathrm{Ag}_{(a q)}^{+} \rightarrow Z n_{(a q)}^{2+}+2 A g_{(s)} 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:

The galvanic cell relating to the given redox response can be displayed as:

\mathrm{Zn}\left|Z n_{(a q)}^{2+} \| A g_{(a q)}^{+}\right| \mathrm{Ag}

(I) Zn anode is contrarily charged on the grounds that at this cathode, Zn oxidizes to Z n^{2+} and the leaving electrons

aggregate on this anode.

(ii) The transporters of current are particles in the cell.

(iii) Reaction at Zn anode is displayed as:

Z n_{(s)} \rightarrow Z n_{(a q)}^{2+}+2 e^{-}

Response at Ag anode is displayed as:

A g_{(a q)}^{+}+e^{-} \rightarrow A g_{(s)}
