Chapter 19.10, Problem 19.16E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The half cell reactions of electrolysis of Silver nitrate should be written.

Concept introduction:

Electrolytic Cell:

The device, which is used to convert the electrical energy into chemical energy, is known as electrolytic cell and this type of cell are works under the principle of electrolysis.

Electrolysis molten salt:

The decomposition of chemical by passing through an aqueous solution of ions is known as electrolysis.

Half cell reaction:

In electrochemical cells, the redox reaction take placed by two half reactions, one is oxidation and it occurs anode and another one is reductions it occurs at cathode.

In oxidation the species lose its electron and in cathode the species gain electrons in cell reaction.
