Solution

Given: \[\ce{E{^{\circ}_{Ni}}}\] = −0.25 V, \[\ce{E{^{\circ}_{Al}}}\]  = −1.66 V

To find: Standard cell potential

Formula: \[\ce{E{^{\circ}_{cell}} = E{^{\circ}_{cathode}} - E{^{\circ}_{anode}}}\]

Calculation: Electrode reactions are

At anode: \[\ce{Al_{(s)} -> Al^{3+}_{( aq)} + 3e^-}\]

At cathode: \[\ce{Ni^{2+}_{ (aq)} + 2e^- -> Ni_{(s)}}\]

The standard electrode potential is given by

\[\ce{E{^{\circ}_{cell}} = E{^{\circ}_{cathode}} - E{^{\circ}_{anode}}}\]

\[\ce{E{^{\circ}_{cell}} = E{^{\circ}_{Ni}} - E{^{\circ}_{Al}}}\]

= (–0.25 V) – (−1.66 V)

= 1.41 V

∴ The standard cell potential for the reaction is 1.41 V.
