Expert Solution
Step 1
- The standard reduction potential of Zinc i.e. Zn+2|| Zn = - 0.763
The standard reduction potential of Ni+2 || Ni = -0.250
The reduction potential of Nickel ion is large and less negative hence, will reduce and Zinc will oxidize.
Reduction occurs at Cathode. Hence reaction at cathode.
Ni+2 + 2e- → Ni
Oxidation reaction at Anode
Zn → Zn+2 + 2e-
