In the non-rechargeable Zn/MnO2 cell, which species is reduced and which species is oxidised during cell operation?
ZnO(s) + H2O(l) + 2e- ⇌ Zn(s) + 2OH-(aq) E⦵ = -1.28 V
2MnO2(s) + H2O(l) + 2e- ⇌ Mn2O3(s) + 2OH-(aq) E⦵ = +0.15 V
Mn2O3 is reduced and ZnO is oxidised
MnO2 is reduced and Zn is oxidised
Mn2O3 is oxidised and ZnO is reduced
MnO2 is oxidised and Zn is reduced
