What would the anode and cathode equations be for the electrolysis of silver nitrate using silver electrodes.
Thanks.
Thanks.

If both electrodes are Ag, then silver will be transferred from one electrode to the other.:
anode: oxidation: Ag(s) -----------> Ag+(aq) + e-
cathode: reduction: Ag+(aq) + e- ----> Ag(s)
anode: oxidation: Ag(s) -----------> Ag+(aq) + e-
cathode: reduction: Ag+(aq) + e- ----> Ag(s)
