Which type of half-cell, when used along with a mn/mn2+ half-cell, gives the largest cell potential?

the options are not given, here are the options.

A. Cu2+/cu

b. Pb2+/Pb

c. Zn²+Izn

d. The potential for all three cells is the same.

The correct answer is A.

Cu2+/cu

Explanation:

A voltaic or galvanic cell is a cell that uses electrochemical energy generate from oxidation reduction reaction to produce electricity.

In this reaction manganese will be the anode and the Copper will be the cathode.

The half-cell reactions are given below and their respective cell potential.

Mn +Mn2+ + 2e- E°=-1.18v

Zn +2e=Zn E°=-0.76v

Pb+ +2r= Pb E° -0.13

Cu2+ + 2e= Cu E° 0.34

In solving the potential of the cell

E°cell= E° cathode -E°anode

For Mn and Cu.

Which happens to be the largest among the others.

a motor homunculus represents a map of brain areas dedicated to motor processing for different anatomical divisions of the body.

homunculus represents the importance of various parts of your body as seen by your brain. as a result, they take up a lot of brain space. although the cortical homunculus is a curiosity, penfield's work in mapping the brain's relationship to the body was invaluable.
