Ms. Garcia's science students are studying scale models. For her science project, Sarah has decided to make a scale model of the
solar system. Sarah conducted some research to help her with the diameters of the planets and Sun in her model and found the table you see above. If Sarah uses a marble for Earth that is 1cm in diameter how big would she make the Sun in diameter?
A) 1km
B) 1.9km
C) 100cm
D) 109cm
A) 1km
B) 1.9km

Explanation:
The cell reaction properly written is shown below:
Cu|Cu²⁺ || Ag⁺
| Ag
From this cell reaction, to get the net ionic equation, we have to split the reaction into their proper oxidation and reduction halves. This way, we can know that is happening at the electrodes and derive the overall net equation.
Oxidation half:
Cu ⇄ Cu²⁺
+ 2e⁻
At the anode, oxidation occurs.
Reduction half:
Ag⁺ + 2e⁻ ⇄ Ag
At the cathode, reduction occurs.
To derive the overall reaction, we must balance the atoms and charges:
Cu ⇄ Cu²⁺
+ 2e⁻
Ag⁺ + e⁻ ⇄ Ag
we multiply the second reaction by 2 to balance up:
2Ag⁺ + 2e⁻ ⇄ 2Ag
The net reaction equation:
Cu + 2Ag⁺
+ 2e⁻⇄ Cu²⁺
+ 2e⁻ + 2Ag
We then cancel out the electrons from both sides since they appear on both the reactant and product side:
Cu + 2Ag⁺
⇄ Cu²⁺
+ 2Ag
