A voltaic cell similar to those shown in your text is constructed. One electrode compartment consists of a zinc strip placed in asolution of Zn(NO3)2, and the other has a nickel strip placed in asolution of NiCl2. The overall cell reaction is: Zn (s) + Ni2+(aq) → Zn2+ (aq) + Ni (s).
A.) Write the half- reactions that occur in the two electrode compartments.
B.) Which electrode is the anode and which is the cathode?
C.) Indicate the signs of the electrodes.D.) Do the electrons flow from the Zinc electrode to the nickel electrode or from the nickel to the zinc?
E.) In which direction do the cations and the anions migrate through the solution.
