I have a question again!
Question: Make a galvanic cell that produces maximum voltage. Materials are chlorine gas, sodium chloride solution, nickel metal, nickel chloride solution, platinum, and potassium nitrate solution.
Solution:(?)
I use the salt bridge method.
I use platimum in a solution NaCl(Na+,Cl- ions) with Cl2(g) inserted into the solution as the cathode AND I use nickel in a solution of nickel chlorine(Ni(2+),Cl-ions) as the anode. K+ ions in the saltbridge move to the cathode, and NO3(-) ions move to the anode.
I compared reduction potentials for Cl2(oxidizing agent) and Ni(reducing agent) and I found the cell potential = 1.64V
I am just wondering would this be the maximum voltage? Is this the highest voltage possible using the materials given?
