What are the reactions occuring at the cathode and anode of a Lechlanche cell ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To understand the reactions occurring at the cathode and anode of a Leclanché cell, we need to identify the half-reactions that take place at each electrode during the electrochemical process. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Components of the Leclanché Cell:** - The Leclanché cell typically consists of a zinc anode, a manganese dioxide cathode, and an electrolyte that usually contains ammonium chloride. 2. **Reaction at the Anode (Oxidation Reaction):** ...
