$Mg^{2+}$ displaces hydrogen from acids but copper does not. $A$ galvanic cell prepared by combining $Cu/Cu^{2+}$ and $Mg/Mg^{2+}$ has an $EMF$ of $2.71 \ V$ at $298 \ K$. If the potential of copper electrode is $0.34 \ V$,what is the reduction potential of $Mg$ electrode?

  • A
    $+3.05 \ V$
  • B
    $-2.37 \ V$
  • C
    $+2.37 \ V$
  • D
    $2 \ V$
