Explanation

Electrode potential for Mg electrode varies according to the equation
`E_(Mg^(2+)//Mg)=E_(Mg^(2+)//Mg)^(@)-(0.059)/(2)"log"(1)/([ Mg^(2+)])`
`E_(Mg^(2+)//Mg=E_(Mg^(2+)//Mg)^(@))+(0.059)/(2)"log"[Mg^(2+)]`
`E_(Mg^(2+)//Mg)=(0.059)/(2)"log"[Mg^(2+)]+E_(Mg^(2+)//Mg)^(@)`
This equation represents equation of straight line. it can be corelated as
`E_(Mg^(2+)//Mg)=((0.059)/(2))"log"[Mg^(2+)]+E_(Mg^(2+)//Mg)^(@)`
`uparrow uparrow uparrow uparrow`
Y M X `+C`
So intercept `(C)=E_(Mg^(2+)//Mg)^(@)`
Thus, equation can be diagramatically represented as
