If \(\mathrm{E}^{\circ}\left(\mathrm{Mg}_{(\mathrm{aq)})}^{+2} \mid \mathrm{Mg}_{(\mathrm{s})}\right)=-2 \cdot 37 \mathrm{~V}\).
What is potential for \(\mathrm{Mg}_{(\mathrm{s})} \rightarrow \mathrm{Mg}^{+2}(0.01 \mathrm{M})+2 \overline{\mathrm{e}}\) at 298 K ?

  1. A \(+2 \cdot 3108 \mathrm{~V}\)
  2. B \(-2 \cdot 3108 \mathrm{~V}\)
  3. C \(+2.4292 \mathrm{~V}\)
  4. D \(-2.4292 \mathrm{~V}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(+2.4292 \mathrm{~V}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

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