7. Please answer the following questions. (a) Given the following reduction potentials Cd (OH)2 (s) + 2e → Cd (s) + 2 OH (aq) Eºred = -0.76 V NIO(OH) (s) + H₂O (1) + e → Ni(OH)2 (aq) + OH (aq) Eºred = +0.49 V Calculate the standard emf of the nickel-cadmium (nicad) rechargeable battery. *hint: the reaction for the discharge of nicad battery is: Cd (s) + 2 NIO(OH) (s) + 2 H₂O (1)→ 2Ni(OH)2 (aq) + Cd(OH)2 (s) (b) A typical nicad voltaic cell generates an emf of +1.30 V. Why is there a difference between this value and the one you calculated in part (b)? (c) Calculate the equilibrium constant for the overall nicad reaction based on this typical emf value.

7. Please answer the following questions.
(a) Given the following reduction potentials
Cd (OH)2 (s) + 2e → Cd (s) + 2 OH (aq) Eºred = -0.76 V
NIO(OH) (s) + H₂O (1) + e → Ni(OH)2 (aq) + OH (aq) Eºred = +0.49 V
Calculate the standard emf of the nickel-cadmium (nicad) rechargeable battery.
*hint: the reaction for the discharge of nicad battery is:
Cd (s) + 2 NIO(OH) (s) + 2 H₂O (1)→ 2Ni(OH)2 (aq) + Cd(OH)2 (s)
(b) A typical nicad voltaic cell generates an emf of +1.30 V. Why is there a difference between this value
and the one you calculated in part (b)?
(c) Calculate the equilibrium constant for the overall nicad reaction based on this typical emf value.
