1.	What will be the products of electrolysis of AgNO_(3) solution in water with platinum electrodes ?
Answer» Ag is liberatedat cathode and Ag is deposited in anode. Ag is liberated at cathode and `O_(2)` is liberated at anode. Ag is liberated at anode and WATER is liberated at cathode. Ag is liberated at cathode and silver oxide isliberated at anode. SOLUTION :When electrolysis of `AgNO_(3)` solution iscarried out using platinum electrodes, OXIDATION of water OCCURS at anode since Pt being a noble metal does not undergo oxidation easily. As a result, `O_(2)` is liberated at the anode.
