Analyse the data in the table to explain whether the reaction between zinc metal and acidified permanganate solution is spontaneous under standard conditions.
Analyse the voltaic cell data to determine which metal is being oxidised at the anode. Cell notation: \( \text{Zn(s)} \mid \text{Zn}^{2+}\text{(aq)} \parallel \text{Ag}^{+}\text{(aq)} \mid \text{Ag(s)} \) Standard reduction potentials: \( \text{Zn}^{2+}\text{(aq)} + 2e^{-} \rightarrow \text{Zn(s)} \quad E^{\circ} = -0.76 \, \text{V} \) \( \text{Ag}^{+}\text{(aq)} + e^{-} \rightarrow \text{Ag(s)} \quad E^{\circ} = +0.80 \, \text{V} \)
