Express your answers as a chemical expression. Identify all of the phases in your answer.

c)

Determine the overall cell reaction for this cell.

Express your answers as a chemical expression. Identify all of the phases in your answer.

Help is much appreciated!

Explanation / Answer

Cd(s)|Cd 2+ (aq,a Cd 2+ =0.150)||Cl ? (aq,a Cl ? =0.0100|AgCl(s)|Ag(s)

1) Anode reaction or Oxidation reaction:-

Cd(s) ------------> Cd2+(aq) + 2e-  

2) Cathode reaction or reduction reaction:-

AgCl(s) + e-  ----------> Ag(s) + Cl-(aq)

3) Overall reaction:-

2AgCl(s) + Cd -------> CdCl2(aq) + 2Ag(s)
