Question

The reaction :        1/2H2(g) + AgCl(s) → H+(aq) + Cl-(aq) + Ag(s)
occurs in the galvanic cell -

Options

A.Ag | AgCl(s) | KCl (soln) | AgNO3 (soln) | Ag
B.Pt | H2(g) | HCl (soln) | AgNO3 (soln) | Ag
C.Pt | H2(g) | HCl (soln) | AgCl(s) | Ag
D.Pt | H2(g) | KCl (soln) | AgCl(s) | Ag

Solution

(C) H2 →  H+ + e-
e- + AgCl → Ag + Cl-
_____________________
AgCl + H2 → Ag + H+ + Cl-
(D) H2 → H+ + e-     (KCl is neutral solution where [H+] = 10-7 M)
AgCl + e-  Ag + Cl-
_____________________
H2 + AgCl  Ag + H+ + Cl-
