Standard electrode potentials for a few half cells are mentioned below:
$E^0_{Cu^{2+}/Cu} = 0.34 \ V, E^0_{Zn^{2+}/Zn} = -0.76 \ V$
$E^0_{Ag^{+}/Ag} = 0.80 \ V, E^0_{Mg^{2+}/Mg} = -2.37 \ V$
Which one of the following cells gives the most negative value of $\Delta G^0$?

  • A
    $Zn \mid Zn^{2+}(1 \ M) \parallel Ag^{+}(1 \ M) \mid Ag$
  • B
    $Zn \mid Zn^{2+}(1 \ M) \parallel Mg^{2+}(1 \ M) \mid Mg$
  • C
    $Ag \mid Ag^{+}(1 \ M) \parallel Mg^{2+}(1 \ M) \mid Mg$
  • D
    $Cu \mid Cu^{2+}(1 \ M) \parallel Ag^{+}(1 \ M) \mid Ag$

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A$: In equation $\Delta_r G = -nFE_{\text{cell}}$,the value of $\Delta_r G$ depends on $n$.
Reason $R$: $E_{\text{cell}}$ is an intensive property and $\Delta_r G$ is an extensive property.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:
