Question

Calculate the E and E of the cell
Ni|Ni2+||Cu2+|Cu
from the following half-cell reactions:
Ni2++2eNi;E=0.25 volt
Cu2++2eCu;E=+0.34 volt
(Given: [Ni2+]=1 M and [Cu2+]=103M).

Solution

Ecell=0.34+035=0.59V
Ecell=EcellRTnFlnQ=0.59(8.314)(298)(2)(96500)ln[Ni2+][Cu2+]
Cu2++NiNi2++Cu
=0.59(0.0128)ln(1103)
=0.59(2.303)(0.0128)(3)
=0.5015
