Question
A student constructs the following galvanic cell using a zinc
electrode in 1.0 M Zn(NO3)2, a silver electrode in 1.0 M
AgNO3, and a salt bridge containing aqueous KNO3. What is
the cell notation for this electrochemical cell?
salt bridge
KNO3 (aq)

1.0 M AGNO3
1.0 M Zn(NO3)2
O Zn(s), Zn (aq) I| Ag (ag). Agis)
o Zn(s) | Zn (aa) I| Ag (aq) Agis)
O Agls) Ag (aq)| Zn2 (aq) Zn(s)
Ag(s). Ag (aq) || Zn"(aq), Zn(s)
Incorrect. There are a couple of problems with this
answer, but let's start with this one: what do
commas mean in shorthand cell notation?
Agtsi As ag) KNO a) Zn (ac) Zn6
