Detailed Solution

Coulombs passed through cell =5.36×3600×0.5=9650 (rounded off to 9650 from 9648)

 Cathode reaction, Ag++eAg

 Weight of silver deposited at cathode =108×965096,500=10.8gms

Weight of cathode after reaction (electrolysis) - 10.8 + 12.0 = 22.8 gms

Anode reaction : Ag+NO3=AgNO3+e

At anode, 10.8 grams of anode dissolves.

Weight of anode remaining = 12.0 - 10.8 = 1.2 gms

 Moles of epassed through cell =965096,500=0.1
