$i$. At the cathode,$Ag^+$ ions are reduced to $Ag_{(s)}$. At the anode,$Ag$ electrode is oxidized to $Ag^+_{(aq)}$.
$ii$. At the cathode,$Ag^+$ ions are reduced to $Ag_{(s)}$. At the anode,$H_2O$ is oxidized to $O_{2_{(g)}}$.
$iii$. At the cathode,$H^+$ ions are reduced to $H_{2_{(g)}}$. At the anode,$H_2O$ is oxidized to $O_{2_{(g)}}$.
$iv$. At the cathode,$Cu^{2+}$ ions are reduced to $Cu_{(s)}$. At the anode,$Cl^-$ ions are oxidized to $Cl_{2_{(g)}}$.
