A voltaic cell is based on a nitrate/NO half-cell and a NiCl2/Ni half-cell. (Heads up, the
chloride ions in this reaction are bystander ions.)

Eo for NO-3 (aq) → NO(g) = +0.96
Eo for NiCl2 (aq) → Ni(s) = –0.28 

What is the cell potential of the reaction when pH = 2.7, [NO3-] = 1.5 M, PNO = 0.010 atm
and [Ni2+] = 0.21 M
