The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to represent the given chemical reaction in the notation used for galvanic cells. The reaction is: \[ 2 \text{AgCl (fused)} + \text{H}_2 \text{(g)} \rightarrow 2 \text{HCl (aq)} + 2 \text{Ag (s)} \] ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Components of the Reaction**: - The reactants are fused AgCl and hydrogen gas (H₂). - The products are aqueous HCl and solid silver (Ag). 2. **Determine the Oxidation and Reduction**: - In this reaction, silver ions (Ag⁺) from AgCl are reduced to solid silver (Ag). - Hydrogen gas (H₂) is oxidized to H⁺ ions in the formation of HCl. 3. **Identify the Anode and Cathode**: - The cathode is where reduction occurs. Here, Ag⁺ ions are reduced to Ag. - The anode is where oxidation occurs. Here, H₂ is oxidized to H⁺ ions. 4. **Write the Half-Reactions**: - **Reduction Half-Reaction**: \[ \text{Ag}^+ + e^- \rightarrow \text{Ag (s)} \] - **Oxidation Half-Reaction**: \[ \text{H}_2 \rightarrow 2 \text{H}^+ + 2e^- \] 5. **Combine the Half-Reactions**: - To balance the electrons, we can multiply the reduction half-reaction by 2: \[ 2 \text{Ag}^+ + 2e^- \rightarrow 2 \text{Ag (s)} \] - Now, we can combine the half-reactions: \[ 2 \text{Ag}^+ + \text{H}_2 \rightarrow 2 \text{Ag (s)} + 2 \text{H}^+ \] 6. **Write the Cell Notation**: - The standard notation for a galvanic cell is: \[ \text{Anode} | \text{Anode Solution} || \text{Cathode Solution} | \text{Cathode} \] - For our reaction: \[ \text{H}_2(g) | \text{HCl (aq)} || \text{Ag}^+(aq) | \text{Ag (s)} \] 7. **Select the Correct Option**: - Based on the options provided, we can identify the correct representation of the galvanic cell. ### Final Answer: The correct notation for the galvanic cell representing the reaction is: \[ \text{H}_2(g) | \text{HCl (aq)} || \text{Ag}^+(aq) | \text{Ag (s)} \]
