A voltaic cell is constructed with two silver-silver chloride electrodes, where the half-reaction is

The silver chloride electrode usually functions as a redox electrode where the equilibrium is achieved between silver and its salt (silver chloride).

The half reaction for this electrode is as follow:

AgCl (s) + e-→Ag (s) + Cl - (aq) where:

(s) refers to solid state

(aq) refers to the aqueous state and

e - is the electron
