The standard cell potential for the nickel-cadmium battery is 1.35 V, and the cell reaction can be written as
2NiO(OH) (s) + 2H2O(l) + Cd(s) 2Ni(OH) 2(s) + Cd(OH) 2(s)
Which one of the following statements do you expect to be true based on the Nernst equation? Note Q = reaction quotient, and K = equilibrium constant for the cell reaction.
A) As the battery is used, the cell voltage approaches zero because Q approaches K, in value.
B) When the battery no longer works, the cell voltage is zero because Q = K.
C) As the battery is used, the cell voltage does not change because Q equals 1.
D) When the battery is fully charged, Q > K.
E) When the battery is fully charged, Q < K.
