Hello students, let's begin with this question.
00:02
This question is based upon the volatic cell.
00:06
So firstly what is a volatic cell? it is an electrochemical cell that is used to produce the electrical energy from the chemical reactions.
00:27
Now this volatic cell is composed of, there is an anodic compartment, cathodic compartment, there is a salt bridge, then there is a half cells, after that there is a external circuit.
00:52
Now in the question, one volatic cell representation is given.
00:57
So this is the volatic cell representation that is given in the question.
01:04
This is the salt bridge.
01:06
So here firstly we have to identify the reactions that is occurring at the cathode and the reaction that is occurring at the anode.
01:15
Now if we see this magnesium, this will be converted into the magnesium to positive ions.
01:21
So if we see here its oxidation is increasing that is 0 to plus 2.
01:26
So here the compartment where there is an increase in the oxidation state, so in that the oxidation occurs and oxidation generally occurs at the anode...
