A strip of nickel metal is placed in ……

A strip of nickel metal is placed in a 1-molar solution of Ni(NO3)2 and a strip of silver metal is placed in a 1-molar solution of AgNO3.

[CBSE 2012]

Solution

(Since reduction potential is more for Ag, it will be the cathode)

When concentration value of 1 M each is used to calculate cell potential for part (i), log 1 = 0 and the cell potential = 0.80 – (-0.25) = 1.05 V

Putting the concentration values as mentioned in part (ii), cell potential
