In the Cell reaction :
\(Mg ( s )+2 Ag ^{+}( aq ) \rightarrow Mg ^{2+}( aq )+2 Ag ( s )\)
\(E _{\text {cell }}^{\circ}=3.17 V\). By doubling the concentration of \(Mg ^{2+}, E _{\text {cell }}\) is :

  1. A doubled
  2. B halved
  3. C increases but less than double
  4. D decreases by a small fraction
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) decreases by a small fraction

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(n=2\) \(Q = \frac{[Mg^{2+}]}{[Ag^{+}]^2}\) \(E_{\text{cell}} = E^{\circ}_{\text{cell}} - \frac{0.0592}{n} \log Q\)…
