Consider the given reaction that occurs in a galvanic cell : `Zn(s)+Ag_(2)O(s) +H_(2)O(l)rarr`
`Zn^(2+)(aq)+2Ag(s)+2OH^(-)(aq)`
Write the cathode and the anode reactions.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Anode reaction : `Zn(s)rarrZn^(2+)(aq)+2e`
Cathode reaction :
`Ag_(2)O(s)+H_(2)O(l)+2e rarr 2Ag(s)+2OH^(-)(aq)`
Cell reaction : `Zn(s)+Ag_(2)O(s)+H_(2)O(l)rarrZn^(2+)(aq)+2Ag(s)+2OH^(-)(aq)`
