Consider Galvanic cell consisting of a Mg electrode immersed in
a solution of magnesium nitrate and a silver electrode immerse in a
solution of silver nitrate. Knowing that Mg2++2e—>Mg(s) -2.37V;
and Ag+e—> Ag(s). +8.0V
A)what value of the reaction quotient could trigger a change in the
spontaneity of the reaction?
B)If the [Mg2+]was equal to 1.0*10^-10M for the value of the
reaction quotient In A), what would be the [Ag+]?
