Question

Electrode potential for Mg electrode varies according to the equation
$\text{E}_{\text{Mg}^{2+}|\text{Mg}}=\text{E}^\ominus_{\text{Mg}^{2+}|\text{Mg}}-\frac{0.059}{2}\log\frac{1}{\big[\text{Mg}^{2+}\big]}$ The graph of $\text{E}_{\text{Mg}^{2+}|\text{Mg}}\text{ vs }\log\big[\text{Mg}^{2+}\big]\text{ is}:$

Answer


Explanation:
$\text{E}_{\text{Mg}^{2+}/\text{Mg}}=\text{E}^\ominus_{\text{Mg}^{2+}/\text{Mg}}-\frac{0.059}{2}\log\frac{1}{\big[\text{Mg}^{2+}\big]}$
Compare this equation with the equation of straight line y = mx + c
The graph of $\text{E}_{\text{Mg}^{2+}/\text{Mg}}$ versus $\log\big[\text{Mg}^{2+}\big]$ is a straight line with a positive alope and intercept $\text{E}_{\text{Mg}^{2+}/\text{Mg}}$
