Question:medium

A student builds a galvanic cell utilizing the reaction \[ Ni(s)+2Ag^+(aq)\rightarrow Ni^{2+}(aq)+2Ag(s) \] \[ E^\circ=1.05V \] At \(25^\circ C\), what could the student do for the cell to generate a potential greater than that of the initial standard cell?

Show Hint

Activities of pure solids are taken as unity; hence changing electrode size does not affect cell emf.

  • Increase the concentration of \(Ag^+(aq)\)
  • Increase the size of the \(Ni(s)\) electrode
  • Decrease the size of the \(Ag(s)\) electrode
  • Increase the pressure
