question 46

Multiple Choice

Determine the redox reaction represented by the following cell notation:
Mg(s) ∣ Mg²⁺(aq) Cu²⁺(aq) ∣ Cu(s)

• A) Cu(s) + Mg²⁺(aq) → Mg(s) + Cu²⁺(aq)
• B) Mg(s) + Cu²⁺(aq) → Cu(s) + Mg²⁺(aq)
• C) 2Mg(s) + Cu²⁺(aq) → Cu(s) + 2Mg²⁺(aq)
• D) 2Cu(s) + Mg²⁺(aq) → Mg(s) + 2Cu²⁺(aq)
• E) 3Mg(s) + 2Cu²⁺(aq) → 2Cu(s) + 3Mg²⁺(aq)
