a)
E°Cell = Ecathode - Eanode
cathode --> Nickel, since has higher potential
anode --> Chrmomium since has lower potential
so..
E°Cell = (-0.257) - (-0.744) = 0.487 V
b)
the balanced cell:
Cr+3 + 3e- --> Cr(s)
Ni2+ + 2e- --> Ni(s)
invert the one being oxidized, i.e. Chromium
Ni2+ + 2e- --> Ni(s)
Cr(s) --> Cr+3 + 3e-
balance e-
3Ni2+ + 6e- --> 3Ni(s)
2Cr(s) --> 2Cr+3 + 6e-
add all
3Ni2+ + 6e- + 2Cr(s)--> 3Ni(s) + 2Cr+3 + 6e-
cancle common terms
3Ni2+ + 2Cr(s)--> 3Ni(s) + 2Cr+3
