explain electrolysis of silver nitrate solution..
Answers
Answer:
Electrolysis of a silver nitrate solution produces oxygen at the anode and silver at the cathode.
As stated in the introduction, most reactions at the cathode correlate well with the standard reduction potentials. Only hydrogen is produced from the electrolysis of alkali metal, alkaline earth and aluminum nitrates.
Explanation:
Solution of silver nitrate contains silver ions and nitrate ions, as well as hydrogen and hydroxide ions from the aqueous solvent. Silver is a rather unreactive metal, so it might be expected that silver ions will be reduced and precipitated as metallic silver at the cathode. What cannot be predicted without experiment is the appearance of the crystals of silver metal that forms. At an inert platinum anode, two oxidations are possible: hydrogen to oxygen, and/or silver to silver. Both oxidations can be observed. Spectacular results occur when conditions favour production of silver.

Please mark as brainliest
The anode is a silver electrode. Both electrodes are immersed in a silver nitrate solution. When a steady current is passed through the solution, the net result is that silver metal is removed from the anode and deposited on the cathode. ... The net result is the transfer of silver metal from the anode to the cathode.
