Question
Write the reactions taking place at the anode and cathode in the above cell.

Answer

Inert electrodes:
Anode: $2\text{H}_2\text{O}(\text{l})\xrightarrow{ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ }\text{O}_2(\text{g})+4\text{H}^{+}(\text{aq})+4\text{e}^-$
Cathode: $\text{Ag}^{+}(\text{aq})+\text{e}^-\xrightarrow{\ \ \ \ \ \ \ }\text{Ag(s)}$
