Question
A voltaic cell is constructed in which the following cell
reaction occurs. The half-cell compartments are
connected by a salt bridge.
Ni2+(aq) + Mg(s)
→ Ni(s) + Mg2+(aq)
The anode reaction is:
+
+
The cathode reaction is:
+
+
In the external circuit, electrons migrate
v the
Mg|Mg2+ electrode
the Ni|Ni2+ electrode.
In the salt bridge, anions migrate
the Mg|Mg2+
compartment
v the Ni|Ni2+ compartment.
