I neeed help nowww HELP NOOW What will happen when a piece of magnesium metal is dropped into a beaker
containing a 1 M solution of copper(II) chloride?
Mg2+ + 2e + Mg(s) eº = -2.37 V
Cu2+ + 2e → Cu(s) E° = + 0.34 V

The correct option is B.

Explanation:

The oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which a chemical species loses electrons in a chemical reaction.

A reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which a chemical species gains electrons in a chemical reaction.

The chemical species will undergo a reduction reaction if the value of standard reduction potential is more positive or less negative.

For the given half-reactions:

As the value of standard reduction potential of copper is positive thus, it will undergo a reduction reaction and magnesium will undergo an oxidation reaction.

The half-reaction follows:

Oxidation half-reaction:

Reduction half-reaction:

Overall cell-reaction:

As it can be seen from the reaction that copper is forming as a pure metal in the product thus, it will be deposited and magnesium will be dissolved forming an aqueous solution.

Hence, the correct option is B.

space exploration has led to the development and technological improvement of many everyday items. (if this answer is wrong i will find the right answer) : )
