Question

What is the reaction that occurs at a silver anode of a voltaic cell? (Include states-of-matter under the given conditions in your answer.)

I got: Ag(s) --> Ag^{2+}(aq) + 2 e^-

But my hw program isn't accepting this. What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

Silver is oxidized, but silver goes to a +1 charge, not +2
