(i) An aqueous solution of AgNO3? with silver electrodes.
At cathode: Silver ions have lower discharge potential than hydrogen ions. Hence, silver ions will be deposited in preference to hydrogen ions.At anode: Silver anode will dissolve to form silver ions in the solution.
Ag → Ag+ + e−(ii) An aqueous solution of AgNO3? with platinum electrodes.
At cathode: Silver ions have lower discharge potential than hydrogen ions. Hence, silver ions will be deposited in preference to hydrogen ions.
At anode: Hydroxide ions having lower discharge potential will be discharged in preference to nitrate ions. Hydroxide i
