The EMF of the cell No/Ni2+ (0.01M) // cl-(0.01M)/ Cl2 PT it ? . If SRP of nickel and chlorine electrode are -0.25V and +1.36 respectively .

Dear Student,

At anode:Ni2+ + 2e-  Ni             E°=-0.25 VAt cathode :2Cl- + 2e-  Cl2          E°=1.36 VNow, overall reaction :2Cl- + Ni  Ni2+ + Cl2E°cell=E°cathode-E°anode         =1.36-(-0.25)         =1.61 VNow, Ecell=E°cell-0.0591nlog[Ni2+][Cl-]2                  =1.61-0.05912log(0.01)(0.01)2                  =1.61 -0.05912log (102)                  =1.61-0.05912×2                  =1.61-0.0591                  =1.55 V
