The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the redox reaction involving two metals, M1 and M2. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Oxidation Reaction**: The given oxidation reaction is: \[ M_1 \rightarrow M_1^{(n+)} + n e^- \] This indicates that metal M1 loses n electrons to form its cation \(M_1^{(n+)}\). 2. **Understand the Reduction Reaction**: The problem states that metal M2 is univalent, which means it can only lose or gain one electron. In a reduction process, M2 will gain electrons to form its neutral state. 3. **Determine the Number of Electrons M2 Takes**: Since M2 is univalent, it can only accept one electron to become neutral. However, since the oxidation of M1 involves the loss of n electrons, M2 must take up n electrons to balance the reaction. 4. **Write the Reduction Reaction**: The reduction reaction for M2 can be written as: \[ M_2^{(n+)} + n e^- \rightarrow M_2 \] Here, M2 takes n electrons to become neutral. 5. **Combine the Reactions**: When we combine the oxidation and reduction reactions, we get: \[ M_1 + M_2^{(n+)} \rightarrow M_1^{(n+)} + M_2 \] This shows that the electrons lost by M1 are equal to the electrons gained by M2, confirming that M2 takes up n electrons. ### Final Answer: M2 takes up **n electrons** to complete the redox reaction. ---
