The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the oxidation of a metal \( M \) to \( M^{n+} \) and to choose the correct statements, we will analyze the Nernst equation and its implications step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Reaction**: The given reaction is: \[ M(s) \rightarrow M^{n+}(aq) + n e^- \] This indicates that solid metal \( M \) is oxidized to its ion \( M^{n+} \) in aqueous solution, releasing \( n \) electrons. 2. **Writing the Nernst Equation**: The Nernst equation for the half-reaction can be expressed as: \[ E_{\text{cell}} = E^\circ_{\text{cell}} - \frac{RT}{nF} \ln Q \] where \( Q \) is the reaction quotient. For this reaction, \( Q \) can be defined as: \[ Q = \frac{1}{[M^{n+}]} \] Therefore, the Nernst equation becomes: \[ E_{\text{cell}} = E^\circ_{\text{cell}} - \frac{RT}{nF} \ln \left(\frac{1}{[M^{n+}]}\right) \] 3. **Analyzing the Effect of Concentration**: - **Option A**: "E of \( M \) to \( M^{n+} \) decreases with increases in concentration of \( M^{n+} \)". - As the concentration of \( M^{n+} \) increases, \( \ln \left(\frac{1}{[M^{n+}]}\right) \) becomes more negative, which decreases \( E_{\text{cell}} \). Thus, this statement is **correct**. 4. **Analyzing the Effect of Temperature**: - **Option B**: "E of \( M^{n+} \) to \( M \) increases on increasing temperature". - When we increase temperature, the term \( -\frac{RT}{nF} \ln [M^{n+}] \) increases, leading to an increase in \( E_{\text{cell}} \). Thus, this statement is **correct**. 5. **Effect of Concentration on Reverse Reaction**: - **Option C**: "E of \( M^{n+} \) to \( M \) increases on increasing concentration of \( M^{n+} \)". - As the concentration of \( M^{n+} \) increases, \( E_{\text{cell}} \) indeed increases because the logarithmic term becomes less negative. Thus, this statement is **correct**. 6. **Effect of Temperature on Forward Reaction**: - **Option D**: "E of \( M \) to \( M^{n+} \) increases on increasing temperature". - Here, increasing temperature increases the negative term \( -\frac{RT}{nF} \ln [M^{n+}] \), which decreases \( E_{\text{cell}} \). Thus, this statement is **incorrect**. ### Conclusion: The correct statements are: - Option A: Correct - Option B: Correct - Option C: Correct - Option D: Incorrect Thus, the correct options are A, B, and C.

To solve the question regarding the oxidation of a metal \( M \) to \( M^{n+} \) and to choose the correct statements, we will analyze the Nernst equation and its implications step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Reaction**: The given reaction is: \[ M(s) \rightarrow M^{n+}(aq) + n e^- ...
