A voltaic cell is created using silver (Ag / Ag + ) as one electrode and manganese (Mn / Mn 2+ ) as the other

A voltaic cell is created using silver (Ag / Ag+) as one electrode and manganese (Mn / Mn 2+) as the other electrode.

Reduction half-reactionEo (V)
Ag+ (aq) + e-  Ag (s)0.80
Mn2+ (aq) + 2 e- Mn (s)-1.18

a) which metal is the anode and which is the cathode? 

b) write a balanced chemical equation for the redox reaction occurring in the cell.

c) draw a diagram of the cell. Be sure to label the cathode, the anode, Ag, Mn, Ag+, Mn2+, the direction of electron flow, and the direction of cation and anion flow from the salt bridge.

d) what is the potential of this cell when the Ag+ concentration is 0.045 M and the Mn2+ concentration is 1.67 M?
