Question

Half-cells were made from a nickel rod dipping in nickel sulfate solution and a copper rod dipping in copper sulfate solution. The cells were combined to construct a voltaic electrochemical cell. Sketch the cell and label anode and cathode with charges, electrode material and electrolyte solutions, half-reactions and overall reaction, give direction of electron flow and movement of ions.

Answer 1

Answer:

Check the Attachment.

Half-reactions:

Anode: (OXIDATION) Ni --> Ni2+ + 2e-

Cathode: (REDUCTION) Cu2+ +2e- --> Cu

Overall reaction: Ni + Cu2+ --> Ni2+ + Cu

Explanation:

Overall, reaction is basically Anode + Cathode, where electrons on both sides cancel out  (if not, you need to multiply the equation in a way you can cancel them out).

Hope this helps.
