Depict the galvanic cell in which the reaction Zn(s) +2Ag^(+)(aq)rarr

1.	Depict the galvanic cell in which the reaction Zn(s) +2Ag^(+)(aq)rarr Zn^(2+)(aq) + 2Ag(s) takes place . Further show : (i) which of the electrode is negatively charged, (ii) the carriers of the current in the cell, and (iii) individual reaction at each electrode.
Answer» Solution :The cell MAY be DEPICTED similar to Fig . The cell may be represented as `Zn(s) \|Zn^(2+)(AQ) \|\|Ag^(+)(aq) \|Ag(s)` (i) Zinc electrode (anode) (II) Current will flow from silver to zinc in the external ci+rcuit. (iii) At anode : `Zn(s) RARR Zn^(2+) (aq) +2e^(-)` At cathode : `Ag^(+) (aq) +e^(-) rarr Ag(s)`
