Answer: The net cell equation for the given electrochemical cell is given below.
Explanation:
The given chemical cell follows:
[tex]Co(s)|Co^{2+}(aq.,0.0155M)||Ag^{+}(aq,3.50M)|Ag(s)[/tex]
Oxidation half reaction: [tex]Co(s)\rightarrow Co^{2+}(aq,0.0155M)+2e^-[/tex]
Reduction half reaction: [tex]Ag^{+}(aq,3.50M)+e^-\rightarrow Ag(s)[/tex] ( × 2)
Net cell reaction: [tex]Co+2Ag^{+}(aq,3.50M)\rightarrow Co^{2+}(aq,0.0155M)+2Ag(s)[/tex]
Oxidation reaction occurs at anode and reduction reaction occurs at cathode.
Hence, the net cell equation for the given electrochemical cell is given above.
