Question
Phineas was running a voltaic cell constructed with a Ni(s)|Ni²*(aq) half-cell and a K(s)|K*(aq) cell.
The observed potential of Ecell is 2.71 V. Using the Nernst equation calculate the concentration of
Ni2+ if 0.559M of K* is present.
K+(aq) + e¯ → K(s) E°= -2.93
Ni2++2e- → Ni E° = -0.23
O 1.01
O 0.563
O 0.681
O 0.715
