Writing Cell Diagrams
I'm confused on how to write half reactions and construct cell diagrams for redox reactions that have only one product. Can someone explain how to write the half-reactions for a redox reaction like 2Ag(s) + Br2(g) --> 2AgBr(s)?

Re: Writing Cell Diagrams
I think that we will be given a chart and then we combine some of them to form this single product reaction.

Re: Writing Cell Diagrams
You need two half reactions in order to write a cell diagram. The example you provided is a whole cell and it can be broken up into two half-cells. With the half reactions from this, you write the anode on the left side of the salt bridge and the cathode on the right side.
