Nickel can react with aqueous silver nitrate solution according to the following ionic equation: Ni(s) + 2

Question:

Nickel can react with aqueous silver nitrate solution according to the following ionic equation: 

Ni(s) + 2 Ag+(aq) → 2 Ag(s) + Ni2+(aq) 

Assume the half-reactions are separated into two compartments. A Ni electrode is placed in a compartment with 1.00 M Ni(NO3)2, and a Ag electrode is placed in a compartment with 1.00 M AgNO3. Indicate each of the following:

(a) Oxidation half-cell reaction

(b) Reduction half-cell reaction

(c) Anode and cathode

(d) Direction of electron flow

(e) Direction of NO3 in the salt bridge.
