(N/A) The redox reaction for the copper-silver cell is:
$Cu_{(s)} + 2Ag_{(aq)}^{+} \rightarrow Cu_{(aq)}^{2+} + 2Ag_{(s)}$
Half-cell reactions are as follows:
Cathode (reduction): $2Ag_{(aq)}^{+} + 2e^{-} \rightarrow 2Ag_{(s)}$
Anode (oxidation): $Cu_{(s)} \rightarrow Cu_{(aq)}^{2+} + 2e^{-}$
The cell representation is:
$Cu_{(s)} | Cu_{(aq)}^{2+} \| Ag_{(aq)}^{+} | Ag_{(s)}$
The formula for the cell potential is:
$E_{cell} = E_{cathode} - E_{anode} = E_{Ag^{+}|Ag} - E_{Cu^{2+}|Cu}$
