An electrochemical cell has the following standard cell notation.

Mg(s) | Mg^2+ (aq) || Aq^+(aq) | Aq(s)

Write a blanked redox equation for the cell using the oxidation and reduction half reactions. (Be sure to equalize charge by multiplying by the correct numbers before adding and simplifying)

Respuesta :

Explanation:

The given following standard cell notation.  

Mg(s) | Mg^2+ (aq) || Aq^+(aq) | Aq(s)

Oxidation:

[tex]Mg(s)\rightarrow Mg^{2+}+2e^-[/tex]....(1)

Reduction:

[tex]Ag^+(aq)+1e^-\rightarrow Ag(s)[/tex]...(2)

Overall redox reaction: (1)+2 × (2)

[tex]Mg(s)+2Ag^+(aq)\rightarrow Mg^{2+}+2Ag(s)[/tex]
