(N/A) $(i)$ For the Daniell cell,the reaction is $Zn(s) + Cu^{2+}(aq) \rightarrow Zn^{2+}(aq) + Cu(s)$. The symbolic representation is $Zn(s) | Zn^{2+}(aq) || Cu^{2+}(aq) | Cu(s)$.
$(ii)$ For the Copper-Silver cell,the reaction is $Cu(s) + 2Ag^+(aq) \rightarrow Cu^{2+}(aq) + 2Ag(s)$. The symbolic representation is $Cu(s) | Cu^{2+}(aq) || Ag^+(aq) | Ag(s)$.
