Which is the CORRECT Nernst equation for reaction taking place in the following cell ?
`Mg_((s))|Mg_((aq))^(2+)||Cl_((aq))^(-)|Cl_(2(g))(1 atm)|Pt`

A

`E_("cell") = E_("cell")^(@) -(0.0592)/nxxlog""([Cl^(-)]^(2))/([Mg^(2+)])`

B

`E_("cell") = E_("cell")^(@) -(0.0592)/nxxlog""([Mg^(2+)])/([Cl^(-)])`

C

`E_("cell") = E_("cell")^(@) -(0.0592)/nxxlog[Mg^(2+)][Cl^(-)]^2`

D

`E_("cell") = E_("cell")^(@) -(0.0592)/nxxlog""([Mg^(2+)]]/([Cl^(-)]^2)`
