(a) The cell of interest in this figure is: Cu(s) | CuSO4(aq, 1.0 M) | KCl(aq, 3 M) | AgCl(s) | Ag(s) Write reduction half-reactions for this cell. (Omit states-of-matter from your answer.)

Solutions

Expert Solution

Cu(s) | CuSO4(aq, 1.0 M) | KCl(aq, 3 M) | AgCl(s) | Ag(s)

            LHS                                                  RHS

         At anode                                           At cathode

   Oxidation half cell                                reduction half cell

So the reduction half reactions is Ag+ + e- Ag
