Write the overall balanced equation occurring in a cell that has an anode consisting of a Mn(s) electrode immersed in a solution containing Mn2+(aq) and a cathode consisting of a Pt(s) electrode immersed in a solution containing ClO2−(aq) and ClO2(g)?

Answer : The overall balanced reaction will be:

Explanation :

The half-cell reaction will be:

Anodic cell reaction (oxidation) :

Cathodic cell reaction (reduction) :

In order to balance the electrons, we are multiplying cathodic cell reaction by 2 we get:

Cathodic cell reaction :

Now adding both reaction, we get:

Anodic cell reaction :

Cathodic cell reaction :

The overall reaction will be:

practical process described pest part of scientific investigation.

because practical knowledge is powerful then therotical knowledge.
