Consider this cell running under standard conditions:
Ni(s) | Ni²+ (aq) || Cu*(aq) | Cu(s)
Transcribed Image Text:Consider this cell running under standard conditions: Ni(s) | Ni²+ (aq) || Cu*(aq) | Cu(s)
CIs this cell a voltaic or an electrolytic cell? How do you know?
O Since the cell potential is negative, the reaction is spontaneous, and the cell is an
electrolytic cell.
O Since the cell potential is positive, the reaction is spontaneous, and the cell is a
voltaic cell.
O Since the cell potential is positive, the reaction is spontaneous, and the cell is an
electrolytic cell.
O Since the cell potential is negative, the reaction is spontaneous, and the cell is a
voltaic cell.
