The correct Answer is:
To determine the structure of the galvanic cell for the given reaction: \[ \frac{1}{2} H_2(g) + AgCl(s) \rightleftharpoons H^+(aq) + Cl^-(aq) + Ag(s) \] we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Half-Reactions The first step is to identify the oxidation and reduction half-reactions occurring in the cell. - **Oxidation Half-Reaction**: \[ \frac{1}{2} H_2(g) \rightarrow H^+(aq) + e^- \] Here, hydrogen gas is oxidized to hydrogen ions. - **Reduction Half-Reaction**: \[ Ag^+(aq) + e^- \rightarrow Ag(s) \] Silver ions are reduced to solid silver. ### Step 2: Determine the Anode and Cathode In a galvanic cell: - The **anode** is where oxidation occurs. - The **cathode** is where reduction occurs. From the half-reactions: - **Anode**: \(\frac{1}{2} H_2(g) \rightarrow H^+(aq) + e^-\) - **Cathode**: \(Ag^+(aq) + e^- \rightarrow Ag(s)\) ### Step 3: Construct the Cell Representation The cell representation follows the format: \[ \text{Anode} | \text{Anode Solution} || \text{Cathode Solution} | \text{Cathode} \] For our case: - **Anode**: \(H_2(g)\) - **Anode Solution**: \(H^+(aq)\) (from HCl) - **Cathode Solution**: \(Ag^+(aq)\) (from AgCl) - **Cathode**: \(Ag(s)\) ### Step 4: Final Cell Representation Combining all components, we can represent the galvanic cell as: \[ Pt | H_2(g) | HCl(aq) || AgCl(s) | Ag(s) \] ### Conclusion The correct representation of the galvanic cell for the given reaction is: \[ \text{Pt} | \text{H}_2(g) | \text{HCl(aq)} || \text{AgCl(s)} | \text{Ag(s)} \]
