You wish to construct a galvanic cell with the anode consisting of a Ni electrode in a 1.0 M Ni(NO3)2 solution. What would be the highest standard cell potential if used as the cathode in this galvanic cell?

Au^3+(aq) +3e > Au(s). 1.50 V

Explanation:

When we construct the galvanic cell, our intention is to produce energy by spontaneous electrochemical reactions. In order to have a spontaneous electrochemical reaction, E°cell must be positive. The more positive the value of E°cell, the more spontaneous the reaction is.

E°cell= E°cathode - E°anode

If E°cathode= 1.50 V

E°anode= -0.25 V

E°cell= 1.50 -(-0.25)

E°cell= 1.75 V

Hence the process; Au^3+(aq) +3e > Au(s) yields the highest standard cell potential

l dont know l am s sorry
