Two identical pieces of the same unknown metal are placed into 1.0 M solutions of LiNO 3

Question:

Two identical pieces of the same unknown metal are placed into 1.0 M solutions of LiNO3(aq) and Fe(NO3)2(aq). No reaction is observed in the LiNO3(aq); however, the metal appears to dissolve in the Fe(NO3)2(aq). If the possible metals are nickel and zinc, which metal would be expected to react? Calculate the cell potential under standard conditions for the metal that did react.
