Construct a spontaneous voltaic cell using the following materials: A Ni(s) electrode, a copper electrode, a 1.0 M Ni(NO3) (aq) solution and a 1.0 M CuSO4 (aq) solution.
Which metal will serve as the cathode? Which will serve as the electrode? Justify your choices.
Calculate the standard cell potential
Calculate ?G°, the standard change in Gibbs free energy associated with operation of this voltaic cell
The concentrations of the solutions are changed to 0.1 M Ni(NO3) (aq) and 3.0 M CuSO4 (aq). What is the resulting cell potential E?
