The standard reduction potential
E

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
0

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

Therefore in this galvanic cell, the
Ni

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:

Answer:
Please find the explanation to this question below.
Explanation:
1.38 moles of oxygen
Explanation:
Thermal decomposition of Lead (II) nitrate is shown by the balanced equation below;
2Pb(NO₃)₂ → 2PbO + 4NO₂ + O₂
The mole ration of Lead (II) nitrate to oxygen is 2: 1
Therefore 2.76 moles of Lead (II) nitrate will lead to production of? moles of oxygen;
2: 1
2.76: x
Cross-multiply;
2x = 2.76 * 1
x = 2.76 / 2
x = 1.38
