Question
A piece of solid nickle foil is immersed in a beaker of NiCl₂ solution and a strip of
copper foil is immersed in a beaker of CuSO4 solution. The metal electrodes are
connected by a wire and the beakers are connected by a salt bridge.
The half reaction that occurs at the anode is
Ni(s) → Ni2+ (aq) + 2e
Cu(s)→ Cu²+ + 2e
Cu²+ + 2e Cu(s)
Ni2+
(aq)
+ 2e → Ni(s)
