                                                                  In an electrochemical cell \[(Cu-Ag),\] why are solutions containing \[C{{u}^{2+}}\] and \[A{{g}^{+}}\] ions kept in separate containers?

Answer:

                In case, the two salt solutions are kept in the same container, \[A{{g}^{+}}\] ions will be reduced in the same container and no external current will be generated.
