Question:
(a) Use standard reduction potentials to calculate the potential of a nickel-cadmium cell that uses a basic electrolyte. The nickel in NiO(OH)(s) is reduced to Ni(OH)2(s), and cadmium metal is oxidized to Cd(OH)2(s).
(b) Will the potential of this cell change as the cell is discharged?
Explain.
(c) Would this cell make a good battery? Explain your answer.
