To derive the Nernst equation for the given reactions, we will follow a systematic approach. The Nernst equation relates the cell potential (E_cell) to the standard cell potential (E°_cell) and the concentrations of the reactants and products involved in the electrochemical reaction. ### Step-by-Step Solution: **(i) For the reaction:** \[ 2Cr(s) + 3Cd^{2+}(aq) \rightarrow 2Cr^{3+}(aq) + 3Cd(s) \] 1. **Identify the half-reactions:** ...
