In a zinc manganese dioxide dry cell, the anode is made up of zinc and cathode of a carbon rod surrounded by a mixture of MnO_(2) , carbon NH_(4)Cl and ZnCl_(2) in aqueous base. The cathodic reaction may be represented as: 2MnO_(2) (s) + Zn^(2+) + 2e^(-) rarr ZnMn_(2) O_(4) (s) Let there be 8g MnO_(2) in the cathodic compartment. How many days will the dry cell continue to give a current of 4 xx 10^(-3) ampere ?

In a zinc manganese dioxide dry cell, the anode is madeup of Zn1 and cathode of carbon rod surrounded by a mixture of MnO_(2) , carbon, NH_(4)Cl , and ZnCl_(2) in aqueous base. The cathodic reaction is : ZnMnO_(2)(s)+Zn^(2+)+2e^(-) rarr ZnMn_(2)O_(4)(s) 8.7g of MnO_(2) is taken in the cathodic compartment. How many days will the dry cell continue to give a current of 9.65xx10^(-3)A ? ( Atomic weight of Mn=55)(Mw of MnO_(2)=87g mol^(-1))
