Problem- A galvanic cell is constructed with a silver-silver chloride electrode, and a nickel strip immersed in a beaker containing 3.97 x 10-2 M solution of NiCl2. Determine the balanced cell reaction and calculate the potential of the cell. Enter in volts. (assume a temperature of 25°C)
Determine the correct stoichiometry for the relevent reaction first (i.e. that NiCl2 ? Ni2+ + 2Cl?). Then it is a simple plug into the Nernst equation problem.
Show all work, use additional paper if necessary.
