The chemical reaction, 2 AgCl(s)+H2( g)→\mathrm{AgCl}_{(s)}+\mathrm{H}_{2(\mathrm{~g})} \rightarrow2 HCl(aq)+\mathrm{HCl}_{(a q)}+2 Ag(s)\mathrm{Ag}_{(s)}taking place in a galvanic cell is represented by the notation

Options

  1. A\mathrm{Pt}_{(s)} \mid \mathrm{H}_{2(g),}, 1bar∣1MKCl(aq)∣AgCl(s)∣Ag(s)bar \left|1 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{KCl}_{(a q)}\right| \mathrm{AgCl}_{(s)} \mid \mathrm{Ag}_{(s)}
  2. B\mathrm{Pt}_{(s)} \mid \mathrm{H}_{2(\mathrm{~g})}, 1bar∣1MHCl(aq)∣1MAg(aq)∣Ag(s)bar \left|1 \mathrm{MHCl}_{(a q)}\right| 1 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{Ag}_{(a q)} \mid \mathrm{Ag}_{(s)}
  3. C\mathrm{Pt}_{(s)} \mid \mathrm{H}_{2(g),}, 1bar∣1MHCl(aq)∣AgCl(s)∣Ag(s)bar \left|1 \mathrm{MHCl}_{(a q)}\right| \mathrm{AgCl}_{(s)} \mid \mathrm{Ag}_{(s)}
  4. D\mathrm{Pt}_{(s)} \mid \mathrm{H}_{2(g),}, 1bar∣1MHCl(aq)∣Ag(s)∣AgCl(s)bar \left|1 \mathrm{MHCl}_{(a q)}\right| \mathrm{Ag}_{(s)} \mid \mathrm{AgCl}_{(s)}

Correct answer

B. \mathrm{Pt}_{(s)} \mid \mathrm{H}_{2(\mathrm{~g})}, 1bar∣1MHCl(aq)∣1MAg(aq)∣Ag(s)bar \left|1 \mathrm{MHCl}_{(a q)}\right| 1 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{Ag}_{(a q)} \mid \mathrm{Ag}_{(s)}

Step-by-step solution

2AgCl(s)+H2(g)→2HCl(aq)+2Ag(s)Theactivitiesofsolidsandliquidsaretakenasunityandatlowconcentrations,theactivityofasoluteisapproximatedtoitsmolarity.ThecellreactionwillbePt(s)∣H2(g),1 bar ∣H(aq)+1M∥AgCl(aq)1M∣Ag(s)2 \mathrm{AgCl}_{(s)}+\mathrm{H}_{2(g)} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{HCl}_{(a q)}+2 \mathrm{Ag}_{(s)} The activities of solids and liquids are taken as unity and at low concentrations, the activity of a solute is approximated to its molarity. The cell reaction will be \mathrm{Pt}_{(s)} \mid \mathrm{H}_{2(\mathrm{ g})}, 1 \text{ bar }\left|\mathrm{H}_{(a q)}^{+} 1 \mathrm{M} \| \mathrm{AgCl}_{(a q)} 1 \mathrm{M}\right| \mathrm{Ag}_{(s)}
