Question

The cell potential of the cell is 0.60V measured at 30degC. The half-reaction of the cell is Cr|Cr⁺³ and  Ni⁺²|Ni and the [Ni⁺²] is 2.40M. Determine the (a) half cell reaction at the anode; (b) half cell reaction at the cathode; (c) overall cell reaction; (d) the standard cell potential; (e) spontaneity; (f) the concentration of chromium ion; (g) the free energy (remember the  free energy is related to standard cell potential); and (h) complete cell notation. The standard reduction potential for chromium and ion are -0.74V and -0.24V respectively.
