Question
**Educational Content: Galvanic Cell and Redox Reactions**

A galvanic cell consists of a Ni/Ni²⁺ half-cell and a Co/Co²⁺ half-cell with initial concentrations:
- \([Ni^{2+}]\) = 0.80M
- \([Co^{2+}]\) = 0.20M 
- at 298.15 K.

**Electrode Potentials:**
\[
\begin{array}{|c|c|}
\hline
\text{half-reaction} & E^\circ \text{(V)} \\
\hline
Ni^{2+}(aq) + 2e^- \rightarrow Ni(s) & -0.25 \\
Co^{2+}(aq) + 2e^- \rightarrow Co(s) & -0.28 \\
\hline
\end{array}
\]


**Task 1: Write the balanced overall reaction that powers the cell.**
