If \(\mathrm{E}^{\circ}\left(\mathrm{Mg}^{+2}{ }_{(\mathrm{aq})} \mid \mathrm{Mg}_{(\mathrm{s})}\right)=-2.37 \mathrm{~V}\).
What is potential for \(\mathrm{Mg}_{(\mathrm{s})} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Mg}^{+2}(0.1 \mathrm{M})+2 \overline{\mathrm{e}}\) at 298 K ?

  1. A \(+2.3996 \mathrm{~V}\)
  2. B \(-2.3996 \mathrm{~V}\)
  3. C \(+2.3404 \mathrm{~V}\)
  4. D \(-2.3404 \mathrm{~V}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(+2.3996 \mathrm{~V}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \mathrm{E}^{\circ}_{\text{oxidation}} = - \mathrm{E}^{\circ}_{\text{reduction}} = -(-2.37 \mathrm{~V}) = +2.37 \mathrm{~V} \) \( \mathrm{E} = \mathrm{E}^{\circ} - \frac{0.0592}{\mathrm{n}} \log [\mathrm{Mg}^{+2}] \)
