Give products of electrolysis of an aqueous solution of `AgNO_(3)` with silver electrode.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Electrolysis of aqueous solution of `AgNO_3` using silver electrodes :
`AgNO_(3) (s) + nH_(2) O to Ag ^(+) (aq) + NO_(3)^(-) (aq) H_(2) O hArr H^(+) + OH`
At cathode : `Ag^(+)` ions have lower discharge potential than `H^(+)` ions . Hence `Ag^(+)` ions will be deposited as silver (in preference to `H^(+)` ions) .
At anode : Since silver electrode is attacked by `NO_(3)^(-)` ions , Ag anode will dissolve to form `Ag^+` ions in the solution .
`Ag to Ag^+ + e^-`
