Question: Nickel can react with aqueous silver nitrate solution according to the following ionic equation: Ni(s) + 2 Ag + (aq) 2 Ag(s) + Ni
Nickel can react with aqueous silver nitrate solution according to the following ionic equation:
Ni(s) + 2 Ag+(aq) → 2 Ag(s) + Ni2+(aq)
Assume the half-reactions are separated into two compartments. A Ni electrode is placed in a compartment with 1.00 M Ni(NO3)2, and a Ag electrode is placed in a compartment with 1.00 M AgNO3. Indicate each of the following:
(a) Oxidation half-cell reaction
(b) Reduction half-cell reaction
(c) Anode and cathode
(d) Direction of electron flow
(e) Direction of NO3– in the salt bridge.
