Aqueous solution of AgNO3 is electrolysed using Pt electrodes. Products obtained at anode and cathode respectively
Ag, O2
Ag, NO2
O2, Ag
H2, O2
At cathode
EAg+/Ago > EH+/12H2,Pto
∴ Ag++e−→Ag↓×4
At anode
SRP of NO3−/NO2, NO3−/NO are high
EO2/H2Oo < ENO3−/NOxo
(or) SOP of EH2O/O2o > ENOx/NO3-o
2H2O → 4H++4e−+O2
