The correct Answer is:
To calculate the cell potential for the given electrochemical cell, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the half-reactions and their standard reduction potentials. - The cell is composed of two half-cells: - Nickel half-cell: \( \text{Ni}^{2+} + 2e^- \rightarrow \text{Ni}(s) \) with \( E^\circ_{\text{Ni}^{2+}/\text{Ni}} = -0.25 \, \text{V} \) - Silver half-cell: \( \text{Ag}^+ + e^- \rightarrow \text{Ag}(s) \) with \( E^\circ_{\text{Ag}^+/Ag} = +0.80 \, \text{V} \) ### Step 2: Determine which half-reaction is the anode and which is the cathode. - The half-reaction with the higher standard reduction potential will occur at the cathode, while the one with the lower standard reduction potential will occur at the anode. - In this case: - Cathode: Silver half-cell (higher potential, \( +0.80 \, \text{V} \)) - Anode: Nickel half-cell (lower potential, \( -0.25 \, \text{V} \)) ### Step 3: Use the formula for cell potential. - The standard cell potential \( E^\circ_{\text{cell}} \) is calculated using the formula: \[ E^\circ_{\text{cell}} = E^\circ_{\text{cathode}} - E^\circ_{\text{anode}} \] ### Step 4: Substitute the values into the formula. - Substitute the values of the standard reduction potentials into the formula: \[ E^\circ_{\text{cell}} = E^\circ_{\text{Ag}^+/Ag} - E^\circ_{\text{Ni}^{2+}/Ni} \] \[ E^\circ_{\text{cell}} = 0.80 \, \text{V} - (-0.25 \, \text{V}) \] ### Step 5: Perform the calculation. - Simplifying the equation: \[ E^\circ_{\text{cell}} = 0.80 \, \text{V} + 0.25 \, \text{V} = 1.05 \, \text{V} \] ### Final Answer: - The cell potential for the given electrochemical cell is \( E^\circ_{\text{cell}} = 1.05 \, \text{V} \). ---
