Correct Answer: option <span>(1) Mn(s)

Reason: 
The </span><span>spontaneity of electrochemical cell, depends on the it's Eo value. Electrochemical cells with positve Eo are spontanous and vice-versa.
</span>
In present case, the  Eo of half-cell of interest are as follows:
Eo Zn2+/Zn = <span>-0.763v
</span>Eo Mg2+/Mg = 2.37v
Eo Mn2+/Mn = -1.18v

Therefore, Eo cell (with Zn as one of the half-cell) =  Eo Zn2+/Zn - Eo Mn2+/Mn
                                                                                =  -0.763 - (-1.18)
                                                                                = 0.417v

On other hand, Eo cell (with Mg as one of the half-cell) =  Eo Mg2+/Zn - Eo Mn2+/Mn
                                                                                =  -2.37 - (-1.18)
                                                                                = -1.19v

Thus, Mn(s) <span>metal will spontaneously react with Zn2+(aq), but will not spontaneously react with Mg2+(aq)</span>

True, because most chemical reactions have more moles but not really.
Also that they decompose better. "not really"

When you graph an inequality you used a closed dot or a open dot
Naddik [55]
For ≤ and ≥ , use a closed dot to indicate the number itself is part of the solution. For < and >, use an open circle to indicate the number itself is not part of the solution.
