Can a solution of 1 M copper sulphate be stored in a vessel made of nickel metal? Given that
`E_(Ni^(+2)//Ni)^(@)=0.25 " volt and "E_(Cu^(+2)//Cu)^(@)=+0.34" volt"`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Since reduction potential of `"Cu"` is higher than that of "Ni" therefore, we cannot `CuSO_(4)` solution in a nickel vessel.
