Answer:
Cd(s) + AgNO₃(aq) → Cd(NO₃)₂ (aq) + Ag(s)
Oxidized: Cd
Reduced: Ag
Explanation:
Cd(s) + AgNO₃(aq) → Cd(NO₃)₂ (aq) + Ag(s)
Cd → Cd²⁺ + 2e⁻ Half reaction oxidation
1e⁻ + Ag⁺ → Ag Half reaction reduction
Ag changed oxidation number from +1 to 0
Cd changed oxidation number from 0 to +2
Let's ballance the electrons
( Cd → Cd²⁺ + 2e⁻ ) .1
( 1e⁻ + Ag⁺ → Ag ) .2
Cd + 2e⁻ + 2Ag⁺ → 2Ag + Cd²⁺ + 2e⁻
Finally the ballance equation is:
Cd(s) + 2AgNO₃(aq) → Cd(NO₃)₂ (aq) + 2Ag(s)

Answer:
C
Explanation:
Let us quickly remember that the EMF of a cell under non standard conditions in given by the Nernst equation.
This equation states that;
E = E°cell - 0.592/n log Q
Where
E = EMF under non standard conditions
E°cell= standard EMF of the cell
n = number of electrons transferred
Q = reaction quotient
If the reaction quotient is greater than 1 then cell potential is less than the standard cell potential.
The cell that generates the lowest cell potential is the cell depicted in option C because Q has the greatest positive value(Q<1).
An electron with greater energy.
I hope this helps :)
