    Which of the following reactions occurs at the cathode of a common dry cell                                       [NCERT 1978]

    A)                 \[Mn\,\to \,M{{n}^{2+}}+2{{e}^{-}}\]

    B)                 \[2Mn{{O}_{2}}+Z{{n}^{2+}}+2{{e}^{-}}\,\to \,\,ZnM{{n}_{2}}{{O}_{4}}\]

    C)                 \[2Zn{{O}_{2}}+M{{n}^{2+}}+2{{e}^{-}}\,\to \,\,MnZ{{n}_{2}}{{O}_{4}}\]

    D)                 \[Zn\,\to \,Z{{n}^{2+}}+2{{e}^{-}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

               In common dry cell.            Anode : \[Zn\to Z{{n}^{++}}+2{{e}^{-}}\]                                 Cathode: \[2Mn{{O}_{2}}+Z{{n}^{++}}+2{{e}^{-}}\to ZnM{{n}_{2}}{{O}_{4}}\].
