Electrochemical cells
We can construct innumerable number of galvanic cells on the pattern of Daniell cell by taking combinations of different half-cells. Each half-cell consists of a metallic electrode dipped into an electrolyte. The two half-cells are connected by a metallic wire through a voltmeter and a switch externally. The electrolytes of the two half-cells are connected internally through a salt bridge. Sometimes, both the electrodes dip in the same electrolyte solution and in such cases we do not require a salt bridge.
For the cell
\[ \text{Ni(s)} \mid \text{Ni}^{2+}(\text{aq}) \parallel \text{Ag}^+(\text{aq}) \mid \text{Ag(s)} \] The cell reaction is:
\[ \text{Ni(s)} + 2\text{Ag}^+(\text{aq}) \rightarrow \text{Ni}^{2+}(\text{aq}) + 2\text{Ag(s)} \] Nernst equation relates the emf of the cell with standard emf and the concentration of reduced and oxidized species.
The Nernst equation for the given reaction
\[ \text{Ni(s)} + 2\text{Ag}^{+}\text{(aq)} \rightarrow \text{Ni}^{2+}\text{(aq)} + 2\text{Ag(s)} \]
is:
The standard electrode potential for the cell
\[ \text{Ni(s)} + 2\text{Ag}^{+}\text{(aq)} \rightarrow \text{Ni}^{2+}\text{(aq)} + 2\text{Ag(s)} \]
is \(0.80\text{ V}\). The standard Gibbs energy for the reaction is:
In the given cell,
\[ \text{Ni(s)} + 2\text{Ag}^{+}\text{(aq)} \rightarrow \text{Ni}^{2+}\text{(aq)} + 2\text{Ag(s)} \]
