Compute the potential of a nickel-cadmium cell

Reference no: EM13518046

Use standard reduction potentials (shown below) to calculate the potential of a nickel-cadmium cell that uses a basic electrolyte that has a 0.6 M hydroxide concentration.

Cd(OH)2(s) + 2e- ? Cd(s) + 2OH-(aq) Eº = (-0.83) V
NiO(OH)s) + H2O(l) + e- ? Ni(OH)2(s) + OH-(aq) Eº = 0.52 V
