  1. The half-reaction occurring at the cathode in this voltaic cell is __________.  

    MnO4-  +  2 SO42-  +  8 H+  →    MnO42-  +   2 H2SO3  +   2 H2O 

       

    MnO4-   +  e-  →    MnO42- 

       

    SO42-   +  4 H+   →     H2SO3  +   H2O +  2 e-

       

    MnO4-  +   8 H+    +  e-   →    Mn  +   2 H2O
