The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given galvanic cell reaction and identify the half-cell reactions occurring at the anode and cathode. We will then represent the cell and determine the correct option based on the provided information. ### Step-by-Step Solution: **Step 1: Identify the Half-Cell Reactions** - The overall reaction given is: \[ \frac{1}{2} H_2(g) + AgCl(s) \rightarrow H^+(aq) + Cl^-(aq) + Ag(s) \] - This reaction can be divided into two half-reactions: one for oxidation (anode) and one for reduction (cathode). **Step 2: Determine the Anode Reaction** - At the anode, oxidation occurs. The reaction for oxidation of hydrogen gas is: \[ \frac{1}{2} H_2(g) \rightarrow H^+(aq) + e^- \] **Step 3: Determine the Cathode Reaction** - At the cathode, reduction occurs. The reduction of silver chloride is represented as: \[ AgCl(s) + e^- \rightarrow Ag(s) + Cl^-(aq) \] **Step 4: Write the Cell Representation** - The cell representation includes the anode and cathode components. The standard representation is: \[ \text{Pt} | H_2(g) | H^+(aq) || Ag^+(aq) | Ag(s) \] - Since AgCl is a solid and is involved in the cathode reaction, we can represent it as: \[ \text{Pt} | H_2(g) | HCl(aq) || AgCl(s) | Ag(s) \] **Step 5: Match with Given Options** - From the options provided, we need to find the one that matches our cell representation. The correct option is: \[ \text{Option 3: Pt | H_2(g) | HCl(aq) || AgCl(s) | Ag(s)} \] ### Final Answer: The correct option is **Option 3**: Pt | H2(g) | HCl(aq) || AgCl(s) | Ag(s).
