Question

Represent the cell from the following given reaction:
Cl2(g) + 2Ag (9)
2019
2Ag lag
+
(aq)​

Answer 1

The cell representation in which the given reaction occurs is:

Ag/ $Ag^{+}$ // $Cl^{2+}$ / 2$Cl^{-}$

Representation of cell

Although a part of your question is missing, you might be referring to this full question:

Represent the cell from the following given reaction: cl2+2ag gives to (2ag+)+ (2cl-)​

• The two halves of the cell are separated by double vertical lines.
• When representing a cell, the anode is present on the right-hand side while the cathode is present on the left side.
• The metal ions in the electrolyte and the solid metals within the cell are separated by a single vertical line.

Mechanism

• Each electrolyte cell consists of an anode and cathode. The oxidation state of silver changes from 0 to +1 near the anode. Thus, it undergoes oxidation.
• The oxidation half=reaction is as follows:

      2 Ag → $2Ag^{+}$ + 2$e^{-}$

• Whereas, chlorine gains electrons and changes its oxidation state from 2+ to -1. The reduction reaction occurs at the cathode.
• The reduction half-reaction is:
• $Cl^{2+}$   +  2$e^{-}$→2 $Cl^{-}$
• The overall reaction is given by adding the oxidation- half and reduction half-reactions:
•    2 Ag + $Cl^{2+}$   → $2Ag^{+}$ + 2 $Cl^{-}$
