What is the standard potential of cell \(\mathrm{Ni}\left|\mathrm{Ni}^{2+}{ }_{(1 \mathrm{M})} \| \mathrm{Cu}^{2+}{ }_{(1 \mathrm{M})}\right| \mathrm{Cu}\) If \(\mathrm{E}^{\circ} \mathrm{Cu}=0 \cdot 337 \mathrm{~V}\) and \(\mathrm{E}^{\circ} \mathrm{Ni}=-0 \cdot 236 \mathrm{~V}\)

  1. A \(0 \cdot 101 \mathrm{~V}\)
  2. B \(-0 \cdot 136 \mathrm{~V}\)
  3. C \(0.573 \mathrm{~V}\)
  4. D \(-0.753 \mathrm{~V}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(0.573 \mathrm{~V}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} \mathrm{E}_{\text {ceil }}^{0} &=\mathrm{E}_{\text {cuthode }}^{0}-\mathrm{E}_{\text {anode }}^{0}=\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{Cu}}^{0}-\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{Ni}_{\mathrm{i}}}^{0} \\ &=0.337 \mathrm{~V}-(-0.236 \mathrm{~V})=0.573 \mathrm{~V} \end{aligned}\)
