The diagram illustrates a galvanic cell powered by the chemical reaction:\[ \text{Mg(s)} + \text{ZnCl}_2\text{(aq)} \rightarrow \text{MgCl}_2\text{(aq)} + \text{Zn(s)} \]**Explanation of the Diagram:**1. **Electrodes:** - **E1:** This electrode is made from magnesium (Mg). It acts as the anode, where oxidation occurs. - **E2:** This electrode is made from zinc (Zn). It acts as the cathode, where reduction occurs.2. **Solutions:** - **S1:** Contains magnesium ions in an aqueous solution. - **S2:** Contains zinc ions in an aqueous solution.3. **Flow of Electrons (e⁻):** - Electrons flow from the magnesium electrode (E1) to the zinc electrode (E2) through the external circuit, as indicated by the arrows.4. **Salt Bridge:** - A salt bridge connects the two solutions, facilitating the flow of ions to maintain charge balance without mixing the different solutions.5. **Voltmeter:** - Positioned in the external circuit to measure the potential difference between the two electrodes.This galvanic cell setup illustrates how chemical energy is converted into electrical energy through redox reactions.
