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>

Baking soda has a ph of 9. any # that has less than 7 as a ph is acid, any number that has a ph of 7 is neutral, and any number with a ph greater than seven is a base. so baking soda is not an acid but a base.
Another answer for losing electrons is donating because if you accept you have more and therefore it’s donating because you give some away
Mg: [Ne] 3s2. The second ionization energy of Mg is larger than the first because it always takes more energy to remove an electron from a positively charged ion than from a neutral atom. The third ionization energy of magnesium is enormous, however, because the Mg2+ ion has a filled-shell electron configuration.
