What happens to the oxidation number of $Mn$ during the operation of a dry cell?

In a $Cu-Zn$ cell,.....

Which one of the following processes is non-spontaneous?

Consider the figure and answer the following questions.
$(i)$ Cell $'A'$ has $E_{cell} = 2 \ V$ and cell $'B'$ has $E_{cell} = 1.1 \ V$. Which of the two cells,$'A'$ or $'B'$,will act as an electrolytic cell? Which electrode reactions will occur in this cell?
$(ii)$ If cell $'A'$ has $E_{cell} = 0.5 \ V$ and cell $'B'$ has $E_{cell} = 1.1 \ V$,then what will be the reaction at the anode and cathode?

For the reaction $2 Fe^{3+}_{(aq)} + 2 I^{-}_{(aq)} \rightarrow 2 Fe^{2+}_{(aq)} + I_{2(s)}$,the magnitude of the standard molar free energy change,$\Delta_{r} G_{m}^{\circ} = -$ ........... $kJ$ (Round off to the Nearest Integer). $\left[ E_{Fe^{2+} / Fe_{(s)}}^{\circ} = -0.440 \ V; \ E_{Fe^{3+} / Fe_{(s)}}^{\circ} = -0.036 \ V; \ E_{I_{2} / 2I^{-}}^{\circ} = 0.539 \ V; \ F = 96500 \ C \ mol^{-1} \right]$
