To determine whether a solution of 1 M copper sulfate can be stored in a vessel made of nickel metal, we need to analyze the electrochemical properties of nickel and copper based on their standard reduction potentials. ### Step 1: Understand the Standard Reduction Potentials The standard reduction potentials provided are: - \( E^{\circ}_{Ni^{2+}/Ni} = 0.25 \, \text{V} \) - \( E^{\circ}_{Cu^{2+}/Cu} = +0.34 \, \text{V} \) ### Step 2: Compare the Reduction Potentials ...
