Represent the cell for the reaction
`Mg_(s)+Cu_(aq)^(+2)rarrMg_(aq)^(+2)+Cu_(s)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
b
Cell is spontaneous when `p_(1)(` anode `)gtp_(2)(` cathode `)`
`E_(cell)=0.05[pH_(a)-pH_(c)+(1)/(2)log.((pH_(2))_(a))/((pH_(2))_(c))]`
`=0.059[0-0+(1)/(2)log.(p_(1))/(p_(2))]`
Thus, `E_(cell)gt0` if `p_(1)gtp_(2)`
