Q. The reaction, $\frac{1}{2}\ H_{2}(g) + AgCl(s)\ \rightarrow H^{+}\ aq) + {Cl}^{-}(aq) + Ag(s)$ Occurs in the galvanic cell
A) ${Pt/H}_{2}(g)\ KCl\ (sol)|\left| \ AgCl(s) \right|Ag$
B) ${Pt/H}_{2}(g)\ HCl(sol)||\ {AgNO}_{3}\ (sol)|\ Ag$
C) ${Pt/H}_{2}(g)\ HCl(sol)||\ AgCl(s)|\ Ag$
D) $Ag/AgCl(s)KCl(sol)||{AgNO}_{3}|Ag$
Explanation
(c)
$H_{2}$ undergoes oxidation and $AgCl\left( {Ag}^{+} \right)$ undergoes reduction
