Answer:
A
Explanation:
Hmm, so we have the following in the diagram
Pt(s)
Cl2(g)
Ag(s)
NaCl(aq)
AgNO3(aq)
Pt 2+, 4+, 6+ Though it states Pt is inert
Cl 2-
Ag 1+
Na 1+
NO3-
Anode definition: the positively charged electrode by which the electrons leave an electrical device.
Electrode definition: a conductor through which electricity enters or leaves an object, substance, or region.
Cations attracted to cathode pick up electrons
Anions attracted to anode release electrodes+
Reduction at Cathode (red cat gain of e)
Oxidation at Anode (ox anode loss of e)
So from the diagram we can see that the charge is being generated through the 2 metal plates.
So the answer is A, the anode material is Pt and the half reaction is 2Cl- = Cl2 + 2e-
