To formulate the galvanic cell for the reaction \( \text{Zn(s)} + 2\text{Ag}^+(aq) \rightarrow \text{Zn}^{2+}(aq) + 2\text{Ag(s)} \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Oxidation and Reduction Reactions - **Oxidation**: Zinc (Zn) is oxidized to zinc ions (\( \text{Zn}^{2+} \)). \[ \text{Zn(s)} \rightarrow \text{Zn}^{2+}(aq) + 2e^- \] - **Reduction**: Silver ions (\( \text{Ag}^+ \)) are reduced to silver metal (Ag). ...
