Problem
In a galvanic cell constructed with a magnesium electrode in 1.0 M Mg2+ solution and a tin electrode in 1.0 M Sn2+ solution, predict the qualitative change (gain or loss of solid material) that will be observed on the surface of the magnesium electrode after the cell produces current for several minutes. Justify your prediction in one sentence.
