A galvanic cell consists of a Ni²⁺/ Ni half-cell and a standard hydrogen electrode.If the Ni²⁺/ Ni half-cell standard cell functions as the anode,and the standard cell potential is 0.26 V,what is the standard reduction potential for the Ni²+/ Ni half-cell?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The standard hydrogen electrode has a potential of 0 V. Since the Ni²⁺/Ni half-cell is the anode, it undergoes oxidation, and its standard reduction potential is the negative of the cell potential, which is -0.26 V.
