The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem regarding the galvanic cell reaction, we will break down the steps involved in identifying the anode and cathode reactions, as well as the overall cell representation. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Reaction Components**: The given reaction is: \[ \frac{1}{2} H_2(g) + AgCl(s) \rightleftharpoons H^+(aq) + Cl^-(aq) + Ag(s) \] Here, we have hydrogen gas (H₂), silver chloride (AgCl), hydrogen ions (H⁺), chloride ions (Cl⁻), and solid silver (Ag). 2. **Determine Oxidation and Reduction**: - **Oxidation**: This involves the loss of electrons. In the reaction, H₂ is oxidized to H⁺: \[ \frac{1}{2} H_2 \rightarrow H^+ + e^- \] - **Reduction**: This involves the gain of electrons. In the reaction, Ag⁺ (from AgCl) is reduced to Ag: \[ Ag^+ + e^- \rightarrow Ag \] 3. **Assign Anode and Cathode**: - The **anode** is where oxidation occurs. Therefore, the reaction at the anode is: \[ \frac{1}{2} H_2 \rightarrow H^+ + e^- \] - The **cathode** is where reduction occurs. Therefore, the reaction at the cathode is: \[ Ag^+ + e^- \rightarrow Ag \] 4. **Write the Cell Representation**: The galvanic cell can be represented as: \[ \text{Anode} \, | \, \text{Electrolyte} \, | \, \text{Cathode} \] In this case: \[ \frac{1}{2} H_2(g) | H^+(aq), Cl^-(aq) | Ag(s), AgCl(s) \] 5. **Identify the Type of Cell**: The overall cell reaction indicates a galvanic cell where chemical energy is converted to electrical energy. The cell representation shows the flow of electrons from the anode (H₂ oxidation) to the cathode (Ag⁺ reduction). 6. **Final Answer**: The reaction occurs in a galvanic cell, and the correct representation is: \[ \text{Option C} \]
