Indeed- there are 2 different solutions in the one beaker, so it is quite certain that a galvanic cell will form. Nothing will happen to the iron nail, except- i say that it is still a simple displacement reaction- iron (from soln) will begin to form on the Mg strip.

How in the world can that be a galvanic cell? This is just simple displacement reactions going on in the cell- ie. magnesium displaces the iron ions in solution (iron forms on magnesium strip).

Guess wat... ur comment makes no sense watsoever. Tis tru that iron does not build up on the iron nail, however, the iron ions cannot 'precipitate' solid iron either. Iron only forms on the magnesium strip. And the concentration of magnesium ions increase in the solution, and the conc of...

U fool!- u definitely will lose marks for that foolishly foolish statement, u fool.

Fool!- can u not comprehend the wat Abtari is saying?! Because Magnesium is more reactive than iron, iron from solution will begin to deposit on the Magnesium strip! How the heck can iron ions 'precipitate' solid iron?!- rethink wat u say, b4 u say it- it is very disturbing to hear chemistry...
