Cell 1 is made from a magnesium electrode and a copper electrode. Cell 2 is made from a zinc electrode and a copper electrode. Both cells use the same electrolyte. Magnesium is more reactive than zinc. Which cell produces the larger voltage, and why?
Cell 1, because the difference in reactivity of its electrodes is larger
Cell 1, because the difference in reactivity of its electrodes is smaller
Cell 2, because the difference in reactivity of its electrodes is larger
Cell 2, because the difference in reactivity of its electrodes is smaller
