### Question 1

**Diagram Explanation:**
The image shows an electrochemical cell setup. It consists of two half-cells connected by a salt bridge and joined to a voltmeter. The left half-cell has magnesium (Mg) immersed in a solution of magnesium nitrate \((\text{Mg(NO}_3)_2)\), and the right half-cell contains silver (Ag) in a silver nitrate \((\text{AgNO}_3)\) solution.

#### Questions:

1. **Given the electrochemical cell in the picture:**

   a. **In the balanced cell reaction, the number of electrons transferred is** [Select]

   b. **The electrons would flow** [Select]

   c. **The standard (assuming 1 M concentrations) cell potential is** [Select]

   d. **The change in standard Gibbs' Energy, \(\Delta G\), for the overall reaction would be** [Select]

   e. **The [Select]**

   f. **If the voltmeter is replaced with a resistor (that allows current to flow) and the current is measured to be a constant 1.250 A, it would take** [Select]

   g. **If the concentrations were changed to \([\text{Mg}^{2+}] = 5.00 \, \text{M}\) and \([\text{Ag}^+] = 0.0100 \, \text{M}\), the cell potential would then be** [Select]

#### Diagram Details:

- **Components:**
  - **Voltmeter:** Measures the potential difference between the two electrodes.
  - **Salt Bridge:** Maintains electrical neutrality by allowing the movement of ions between the two solutions.
  - **Electrodes:** Mg on the left, Ag on the right.

- **Half-Cell Reactions:**
  - **Anode (Mg):** Mg(s) → Mg\(^{2+}\)(aq) + 2e\(^{-}\)
  - **Cathode (Ag):** Ag\(^{+}\)(aq) + e\(^{-}\) → Ag(s)

The queries relate to the understanding of electrochemical cell operations and various calculations like determining the cell potential, Gibbs' free energy change, and effects of changes in concentration on the cell's potential.
