An electrochemical cell is composed of pure nickel and pure iron electrodes immersed in solutions of their divalent ions at room temperature (25°C). If the concentrations of Ni2+ and Fe2+ ions are 0.002 M and 0.40 M, respectively, what voltage is generated at 25°C? (The respective standard reduction potentials for Ni and Fe are −0.250 V and −0.440 V.)

0.758 V.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, case when we include the effect of concentration on an electrochemical cell, we need to consider the Nerst equation at 25 °C:

Whereas n stands for the number of moles of transferred electrons and Q the reaction quotient relating the concentration of the oxidized species over the concentration of the reduced species. In such a way, we can write the undergoing half-reactions in the cell, considering the iron's one is reversed because it has the most positive standard potential so it tends to reduction:

It means that the concentration of the oxidized species is 0.002 M (that of nickel), that of the reduced species is 0.40 M and there are two moles of transferred electrons; therefore, the generated potential turns out:

Beat regards!

alienation, transformation, consumption, and the relativity of truth.

you can choose any one of these, they are all important themes.

these themes reflect the distinct sensibilities of both the modernist and postmodern aesthetic movements. (from google, you should paraphrase)

hope this !
