Question: The overall reaction and standard cell potential at 25oC for the rechargeable nickelcadmium alkaline battery is Cd(s) + NiO2(s) + 2H2O(l) Ni(OH)2(s) + Cd(OH)2(s)

The overall reaction and standard cell potential at 25oC for the rechargeable nickel–cadmium alkaline battery is Cd(s) + NiO2(s) + 2H2O(l) → Ni(OH)2(s) + Cd(OH)2(s) ϐo = 1.10 V For every mole of Cd consumed in the cell, what is the maximum useful work that can be obtained at standard conditions?
