Question
Based on the reactivity series for a few different metals.
What combination of metal will produce the highest voltage?
Hint:
The combination of more and less reactive elements produces a high voltage.
The correct answer is:
The battery that has the combination of Mg and Cu produces a high voltage current.
- Magnesium and copper are the most and least reactive metals, respectively, according to the table provided in the question.
- The electrochemical potential difference between the metals is directly related to the difference in metal reactivity.
- Electric current is generated between the two metals.
- Magnesium can more effectively repel electrons than copper because it is higher up the electrochemical series than copper.
- From the magnesium to the copper, electrons move along the wires and through the voltmeter.
- The voltage produced increases with the electrochemical potential difference because the least reactive metal readily accepts the electrons while the most reactive metal readily gives up its electrons.
