4. calculate the Eocell for the Ni - Al cell.
For the Ni - Al cell in question 4 write the following
reactions
5. Cathode Half Reaction:
6. Anode Half Reaction:
7. Redox Reaction:
8. Using your answer from question 4, determine the Ecell for a Ni
- Al cell when the concentration of Al3+(aq) is 4.00 M and the
concentration of Ni2+(aq) is 2.00 x 10^-5 M.
5. Cathode Half Reaction:
Ni^+2 +2e^-1 ---------> Ni (s) E0 = -0.23v
Anode Half Reaction
Al(s) ---------> Al^+3(aq) + 3e^-1 E0 = 1.66V
2Al(s) ---------> 2Al^+3(aq) + 6e^-1 E0 = 1.66V
3Ni^+2 +6e^-1 ---------> 3Ni (s) E0 = -0.23v
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2Al(s) + 3Ni^+2 ---------> 2Al^+3 (aq) + 3Ni(s) E0 = 1.43V redox reaction or over all reaction
n= 6
Ecell = E0cell-0.0592/n logQ
=1.43-0.0592/6 log[Al^+3]^2/[Ni^+2]^3
= 1.43-0.00986log(4)^2/(2*10^-5)^3
= 1.43-0.00986*5.3010 =1.377V >>>>answer
