The standard reduction potential

resembles the electrode's strength as an oxidizing agent and equivalently its tendency to get reduced. The reduction potential of a Platinum-Hydrogen Electrode under standard conditions (

) is defined as

for reference. [2]

A cell with a high reduction potential indicates a strong oxidizing agent- vice versa for a cell with low reduction potentials.

Two half cells connected with an external circuit and a salt bridge make a galvanic cell; the half-cell with the higher

and thus higher likelihood to be reduced will experience reduction and act as the cathode, whereas the half-cell with a lower

will experience oxidation and act the anode.

Therefore in this galvanic cell, the

half-cell will experience reduction and act as the cathode and the

the anode.

The standard cell potential of a galvanic cell equals the standard reduction potential of the cathode minus that of the anode. That is:

What is a galvanic cell ?

A galvanic cell or voltaic cell is an electrochemical device that transforms the chemical energy of spontaneous redox reactions into electrical energy.
electrical cell A voltaic cell is an electrochemical device that produces electricity through chemical processes.
Use a table of standard electrode potential, such as this one from Chemistry LibreTexts, to look up the reduction potential for each of the questioned cells.

Mg2+(aq)+2le−→Mg(s)−Eθ=−2.372lV

Ni2+(aq)+2le−→Ni(s)−Eθ=−0.257lV

A galvanic cell's standard cell potential is equal to the cathode's standard reduction potential less the anode's standard reduction potential. Which is:

Eθcell=Eθ(Cathode)−Eθ(Anode)

=−0.257−(−2.372)

=+2.115

The pink color in the solution fades. Some of the colored indicator ion converts to the colorless indicator molecule.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

What's the initial color of the solution?

$\text{NH}_4\text{Cl}$ is a salt soluble in water. $\text{NH}_4\text{Cl}$ dissociates into ions completely when dissolved.

$\text{NH}_4\text{Cl} \; (aq)\to {\text{NH}_4}^{+} \; (aq) +{\text{Cl}}^{-} \; (aq)$ .

The first test tube used to contain $\text{NH}_4\text{OH}$ . $\text{NH}_4\text{OH}$ is a weak base that dissociates partially in water.

$\text{NH}_4\text{OH} \; (aq) \rightleftharpoons {\text{NH}_4}^{+} \;(aq)+ {\text{OH}}^{-} \; (aq)$ .

There's also an equilibrium between $\text{OH}^{-}$ and ${\text{H}_3\text{O}}^{+}$ ions.

${\text{OH}}^{-}\;(aq) + {\text{H}_3\text{O}}^{+} \;(aq) \to 2\; \text{H}_2\text{O} \;(l)$ .

$\text{OH}^{-}$ ions from $\text{NH}_4\text{OH}$ will shift the equilibrium between $\text{OH}^{-}$ and ${\text{H}_3\text{O}}^{+}$ to the right and reduce the amount of ${\text{H}_3\text{O}}^{+}$ in the solution.

The indicator equilibrium will shift to the right to produce more ${\text{H}_3\text{O}}^{+}$ ions along with the colored indicator ions. The solution will show a pink color.

What's the color of the solution after adding NH₄Cl?

Adding $\text{NH}_4\text{Cl}$ will add to the concentration of ${\text{NH}_4}^{+}$ ions in the solution. Some of the ${\text{NH}_4}^{+}$ ions will combine with $\text{OH}^{-}$ ions to produce $\text{NH}_4\text{OH}$ .

The equilibrium between $\text{OH}^{-}$ and ${\text{H}_3\text{O}}^{+}$ ions will shift to the left to produce more of both ions.

${\text{OH}}^{-}\;(aq) + {\text{H}_3\text{O}}^{+} \;(aq) \to 2\; \text{H}_2\text{O} \;(l)$

The indicator equilibrium will shift to the left as the concentration of ${\text{H}_3\text{O}}^{+}$ increases. There will be less colored ions and more colorless molecules in the test tube. The pink color will fade.
