Exercise 2 (Parts of Voltaic Cells, Cell Voltage and Reduction Potentials, Electrolysis) 1. The spontaneous redox reaction of cobalt and aqueous manganese(II) nitrate occurs according to the following equation: Mn(s)+Co2+(aq)→Co(s)+Mn2+ (aq) The half-reactions are separated into two compartments of a voltaic cell. A Mn electrode is placed in 1.00MMn(NO3)2, and a Co electrode in 1.00MCo(NO3)2. a) Indicate each of the following for the voltaic cell: i) reaction in the oxidation half-cell ii) reaction in the reduction half-cell iii) the metal that acts as the anode and the metal that acts as the cathode iv) direction of electron flow v) direction of NO3−in the salt bridge
