Question: Silver wire is dipped in 0 . 5 M solution of silver ions and nickel electrode is dipped in 0 . 2 M solution of

Silver wire is dipped in 0.5M solution of silver ions and nickel electrode is dipped in 0.2M solution of nickel ions.
The cell reaction is given as:
Ni(s)+2Ag+(aq)Ni2+(aq)+2Ag(s)
Note: Silver ions are undergoing reduction at cathode while nickel metal is undergoing oxidation at anode.
a. What is the reaction quotient (O)?(Hint, plug in Ni2+ and 2Ag+to the equations provided and use the concentrations given)
b. Calculate the standard cell potential given, Eoxo=-0.25V and Eredo=0.7994V
c. How many electrons are involved in this reaction?
d. Finally, what is the cell potential of this reaction (Ecell)?(Use the equations provided above)(Double check your units!)
 Silver wire is dipped in 0.5M solution of silver ions and
