Following reactions occur at cathode during electrolysis of aqueous silver chloride solution :
`Ag^(+)(aq)+e^(-) to Ag(s),E^(@)=+0.80" V"`
`H^(+)(aq)+e^(-) to 1//2 H_(2)(g), E^(@)=0.00" V"`
On the basis of standard reduction potential (`E^(@)` value), which reaction is feasible at cathode and why ?

Reaction with higher `E^(@)` value will be feasible since more then `E^(@)` value more will be the magnitudeof `-DeltaG^(@)(DeltaG^(@)=-nFE_(cell)^(@)`).
