Name:

ID:

One half of an electrochemical cell consists of a pure nickel electrode in a

solution of Ni2+, the other half is a cadmium electrode immersed in a Cd2+
solution.

(a) If the cell is a standard one, write the spontaneous overall reaction and
calculate the voltage that is generated.
(b) Calculate the free energy (G) in part (a)

more anodic

(c) Sketch and label the electrochemical cell

EMF series
more cathodic
