Explain the mno2 used in dry cells can itself be produced

Reference no: EM13520306

In a dry cell, MnO2 occurs in a semisolid electrolyte paste and is reduced at the cathode. The MnO2 used in dry cells can itself be produced by an electrochemical process of which one half-reaction is shown below.

Mn2+(aq) + 2 H2O(l) MnO2(s) + 4 H+(aq) + 2 e -
