Question

The overall equation of a voltaic cell is:

\[{\text{Ni(s)}} + {\text{2A}}{{\text{g}}^ + }{\text{(aq)}} \rightleftharpoons {\text{N}}{{\text{i}}^{2 + }}{\text{(aq)}} + {\text{2Ag(s)}}\;\;\;\;\;{E^\Theta } = {\text{1.06 V}}\]

The standard electrode potential for \({\text{N}}{{\text{i}}^{2 + }}{\text{(aq)}} + {\text{2}}{{\text{e}}^ - } \rightleftharpoons {\text{Ni(s)}}\), is \( - 0.26{\text{ V}}\). What is the standard electrode potential for the silver half-cell, \({\text{A}}{{\text{g}}^ + }{\text{(aq)}} + {{\text{e}}^ - } \rightleftharpoons {\text{Ag(s)}}\), in V?

A.     \( - 1.32\)

B.     \( - 0.80\)

C.     \( + 0.80\)

D.     \( + 1.32\)
