Consider the cell reaction `:`
`Mg(s)+Cu^(2+)(aq) rarr Cu(s) +Mg^(2+)(aq)`
If `E^(c-)._(Mg^(2+)|Mg(s))` and `E^(c-)._(Cu^(2+)|Cu(s))` are `-2.37` and `0.34V`, respectively. `E^(c-)._(cell)` is

A

` 2.03 V`

B

` -20.3 V`

C

` +2. 71 V`

D

` -2 . 71 V`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
` E_(cell)^@ -E_("cathode")^@ -E_("anode")^@`
` =0.34 - (-2.37) = + 271 V`.
