A concentration cell is set up with two nickel electrodes and two solutions of Ni(NO3)2. One cell contains a solution that is 0.810 M and we connect that electrode to the positive terminal of a voltmeter. The other solution is 0.000245 M and is connected to the negative terminal. The measured voltage on the voltmeter is positive. At 298 K, what is that measured positive potential? (Report your result in volts with 3 decimal places. Do not include units in your answer.)
