Construct a c...

Question

Construct a cell from ${N i}^{2 +} ∣ ∣ N i a n d {C u}^{2 +} ∣ ∣ C u$ half cells. Write the cell reaction and calculate
the standard of the cell. ${E^{0}}_{N i} = - 0.236 V$ and ${E^{0}}_{C u} = 0.377$

Open in App

Solution

${C u}^{2 +} + N i ⟶ {N i}^{2 +} + C u {E^{0}}_{c e l l} = {E^{0}}_{c a t h o d e} - {E^{0}}_{a n o d e} = {E^{0}}_{{C u}^{2 +} / C u} - {E^{0}}_{{N i}^{2 +} / N i} = 0.377 - (- 0.236) = 0.613 V$
But the actual values are
${C u}^{2 +} / C u = 0.34 {N i}^{2 +} / N i = - 0.233 ∴ E_{c e l l} = 0.573 V$
