Solution

For the given redox reaction, the cell representaion is-

$Z n | Z n^{2 +} (a q) | | A g^{+} (a q) | A g$

At $Z n$ electrode, $Z n$ is oxidized to $Z n (I I)$ ions.
Anode reaction: $Z n ⟶ Z n^{+ 2} + 2 e^{-}$

At $A g$ electrode, $A g (I)$ is reduced to $A g$ .
Cathode reaction: $2 A g^{+} + 2 e^{-} ⟶ 2 A g$
