What is the cell representation for cell reaction for the cell reaction Cu(s) + 2Ag+(aq) → Cu2+(aq)+ 2Ag (s)?
Options
- ACu(s) | Cu2+(aq) | Ag+(aq) | Ag(s)
- BCu(s) | Ag+(aq) || Ag(s) | Cu2+(aq)
- CCu(s) | Cu2+(aq) || Ag+(aq) | Ag(s)
- DCu(s) | Cu2+(aq) | Cu(s) | Ag(s)
Correct answer
C. Cu(s) | Cu2+(aq) || Ag+(aq) | Ag(s)
Step-by-step solution
For the cell reaction, Cu(s) + 2Ag+(aq) → Cu 2+(aq)+ 2Ag (s) the cell representation will be Cu(s) | Cu2+(aq) || Ag+(aq) | Ag(s).
