Consider the following reaction,
`1/2 H_(2)(g)+AgCl (s) rarr H^(+) (aq)+Cl^(-) (aq) +Ag(s)`
Above reaction occurs in the galvanic cell

A

`Ag|AgCl(s)|KCl(aq)||AgNO_(3)(aq)|Ag(s)`

B

`Pt|H_(2)(g)|HCl(aq)||AgNO_(3)(aq)|Ag(s)`

C

`Pt|H_(2)(g)|HCl(aq)||AgCl(s)|Ag(s)`

D

`Pt|H_(2)(g)+KCl(aq)||AgCl(s)|Ag(s)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`H_(2)` undergoes oxidation and `AgCl(Ag^(+))` undergoes reduction. Therefore, cell may be represented as
`Pt|H_(2)(g)|HCl(aq)||AgCl(s)|Ag(s)`
