Calculate standard cell potential for a cell having following reaction,
\(2 \mathrm{Al}_{(\mathrm{s})}+3 \mathrm{Ni}^{2+} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{Al}^{3+}+3 \mathrm{Ni}(\mathrm{s})\) \(\left(\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{Ni}}^{\circ}=-0.25 \mathrm{~V}, \mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{A} 1}^{\circ}=-1.66 \mathrm{~V}\right)\)

  1. A \(0.50 \mathrm{~V}\)
  2. B \(1.41 \mathrm{~V}\)
  3. C \(-0.50 \mathrm{~V}\)
  4. D \(0.41 \mathrm{~V}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(1.41 \mathrm{~V}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{E}_{\text {cell }}^{\circ}=\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{Ni}}^{\circ}-\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{Ai}}^{\circ} \\ & =-0.25-(-1.66) \\ & =1.41 \mathrm{~V}\end{aligned}\)
