The correct Answer is:
To write the cell reaction for the given electrochemical cell, we need to identify the half-reactions occurring at the anode and cathode. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Anode and Cathode:** - The left side of the cell (Pt, H₂(g)(1.0 atm)) is the anode where oxidation occurs. - The right side of the cell (AgCl(s), Ag(s)) is the cathode where reduction occurs. 2. **Write the Half-Reaction at the Anode:** - At the anode, hydrogen gas (H₂) is oxidized to hydrogen ions (H⁺) and releases electrons (e⁻). - The half-reaction can be written as: \[ \text{H}_2(g) \rightarrow 2\text{H}^+(aq) + 2e^- \] 3. **Write the Half-Reaction at the Cathode:** - At the cathode, silver chloride (AgCl) is reduced to silver (Ag) and chloride ions (Cl⁻) by gaining electrons. - The half-reaction can be written as: \[ \text{AgCl}(s) + e^- \rightarrow \text{Ag}(s) + \text{Cl}^-(aq) \] 4. **Balance the Electrons:** - The anode reaction produces 2 electrons while the cathode reaction consumes 1 electron. To balance the electrons, we can multiply the cathode reaction by 2: \[ 2\text{AgCl}(s) + 2e^- \rightarrow 2\text{Ag}(s) + 2\text{Cl}^-(aq) \] 5. **Combine the Half-Reactions:** - Now, we can add the balanced half-reactions together: \[ \text{H}_2(g) \rightarrow 2\text{H}^+(aq) + 2e^- \quad (anode) \] \[ 2\text{AgCl}(s) + 2e^- \rightarrow 2\text{Ag}(s) + 2\text{Cl}^-(aq) \quad (cathode) \] - Adding these gives the overall cell reaction: \[ \text{H}_2(g) + 2\text{AgCl}(s) \rightarrow 2\text{Ag}(s) + 2\text{Cl}^-(aq) + 2\text{H}^+(aq) \] ### Final Cell Reaction: \[ \text{H}_2(g) + 2\text{AgCl}(s) \rightarrow 2\text{Ag}(s) + 2\text{Cl}^-(aq) + 2\text{H}^+(aq) \]

To write the cell reaction for the given electrochemical cell, we need to identify the half-reactions occurring at the anode and cathode. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Anode and Cathode:** - The left side of the cell (Pt, H₂(g)(1.0 atm)) is the anode where oxidation occurs. - The right side of the cell (AgCl(s), Ag(s)) is the cathode where reduction occurs. ...
