Answer:
They are similarly charged, which is why they repel each other.
The best answer among the following choices would be A) since the other options are NOT nonrenewable energy sources.
The anode is the electrode where the oxidation occurs.
Cathode is the electrode where the reducction occurs.
Equations:
Mn(2+) + 2e- ---> Mn(s) Eo = - 1.18 V
2Fe(3+) + 2e- ----> 2 Fe(2+) 2Eo = + 1.54 V
The electrons flow from the electrode with the lower Eo to the electrode with the higher Eo yielding to a positive voltage.
Eo = 1.54 V - (- 1.18) = 1.54 + 1.18 = 2.72
Answer: 2.72 V
