A voltaic cell is constructed from the following half-cells: a magnesium electrode in magnesium sulfate solution and a nickel electrode in nickel sulfate solution. The halfreactions are Mg (s) → Mg2+ (aq) + 2e Ni2+ (aq) + 2e → Ni (s) Sketch the cell, labeling the anode and cathode (and the electrode reactions), and show the direction of electron flow and the movement of cation.
