Depict the galvanic cell in which the reaction Zn (s) + 2Ag+ -->Zn2+ + 2Ag (s)takes place. Further show : (a) Which of the electrode is negatively charged? (b) The carriers of the current in the cell. (c) Individual reaction at each electrode.

Answer»

Zn (s)|Zn2+ (aq) || Ag+ (aq)|Ag (s)

 (a) Zn electrode (anode)

 (b) Ions are carriers of the current in the cell.

 (c) At anode : 

Zn (s) --> Zn2+ + 2e-

At cathode :

 Ag+ + e- --> Ag (s)
