Question: In an oxidation process for a cell, \(M_{1} \rightarrow M_{1}^{n +} + ne^{-}\), the other metal \(...

In an oxidation process for a cell,

M1→M1n++ne−M_{1} \rightarrow M_{1}^{n +} + ne^{-},

the other metal (M2)(M_{2}) being univalent showing reduction takes up …. Electrons to complete redox reaction.

A

(n -1)

B

1

C

n

D

2

Answer

n

Explanation

Solution

: The reaction shows M2n++ne−→M2M_{2}^{n +} + ne^{-} \rightarrow M_{2}

i.e., electrons released at anode = electrons used at cathode.
