The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem based on the given cell notation, we will follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Cell Notation**: The cell notation provided is: \[ \text{Ag(s)} | \text{AgCl(s)} | \text{Cl}^-(\text{aq}) || \text{Br}^-(\text{aq}) | \text{Br}_2(\text{l}) | \text{C(s)} \] This notation indicates the components involved in the electrochemical cell. 2. **Understand the Components**: - The left side of the notation represents the anode half-cell, where oxidation occurs. - The right side represents the cathode half-cell, where reduction occurs. 3. **Determine the Anodic Reaction**: - At the anode, oxidation occurs. In this case, we need to look at the species on the left side of the notation. - The relevant species are Ag(s) and Cl^-(aq). 4. **Identify Oxidation**: - The oxidation half-reaction can be written as: \[ \text{Ag}(s) \rightarrow \text{Ag}^+(aq) + e^- \] - Here, silver (Ag) is being oxidized from an oxidation state of 0 to +1. 5. **Conclusion**: - Since oxidation occurs at the anode, we conclude that Ag is being oxidized. Therefore, the correct answer is that at the anode, Ag gets oxidized. ### Final Answer: At the anode, Ag is being oxidized. ---
