Question

When an aqueous solution of AgNO3 is electrolyzed, a gas is formed at the anode. What is the identity of the gas?

Reduction Half-Reaction(V)
2H2O(l) + 2e- H2(g) + 2OH-(aq)-0.83
2H+(aq) + 2e- H2(g)0.00
Ag+(aq) + e- Ag(s)0.80
NO3-(aq) + 4H+(aq) + 3e- NO(g) + 2H2O(l)0.96
O2(g) + 4H+(aq) + 4e- 2H2O(l)1.23

A) H2O
B) NO
C) Ag
D) O2
E) H2
