Do the electrons flow from the zincelectrode to the nickel


A voltaic cell similar to those shown in your text isconstructed. One electrode compartment consists of a zincstrip placed in a solution of Zn(NO3)2, andthe other has a nickel strip placed in a solution ofNiCl2. The overall cell reaction is: Zn(s) +Ni2+(aq) ®Zn2+(aq) + Ni(s).

a. Write the half-reactions that occurin the two electrode compartments. 

b.Which electrode is the anode and which is the cathode?

c. Indicate the signs of the electrodes.

d. Do the electrons flow from the zincelectrode to the nickel electrode or from the nickel to the zinc?e. In which directions do the cations and the anions migrate through the solution?
