Which of the following cell exhibits above net reduction reaction?
Options
- ALeclanche cell
- B Feul cell
- CLead accumlator
- DNICAD cell
Correct answer
A. Leclanche cell
Step-by-step solution
The given reaction is the reduction half-reaction that takes place at the cathode in a Leclanche cell (also known as a dry cell).
At the cathode, manganese dioxide is reduced in the presence of ammonium ions to form manganese(III) oxide (or MnO(OH)), ammonia, and water.
The overall cathode reaction is:
Thus, the cell that exhibits this net reduction reaction is the Leclanche cell.
