To solve the problem of determining the current efficiency during the electrolysis of a solution of `MnSO4` in aqueous sulfuric acid, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Reaction and N-Factor The given reaction is: \[ \text{Mn}^{2+}_{(aq)} + 2 \text{H}_2\text{O} \rightarrow \text{MnO}_2_{(s)} + 2 \text{H}^+_{(aq)} + \text{H}_2_{(g)} \] In this reaction, manganese is oxidized from +2 to +4. The change in oxidation state (N-factor) for manganese is: \[ \text{N-factor} = \text{Change in oxidation state} \times \text{Number of Mn atoms} = (4 - 2) \times 1 = 2 \] ...
