mass 25.5 g 6.40 g 68.1 g
number of moles 25.5 g/12 g/mol 6.40 g/ 1 g/mol 68.1 g/ 16 g/mol
= 2.13 mol = 6.40 mol = 4.26 mol
divide by least number of moles
2.13/2.13 = 1 6.40/2.13 = 3.0 4.26/2.13 = 2.0

You are given a galvanic cell consists of a Ni²⁺/ Ni half-cell and a standard hydrogen electrode. Also, you are given that the half cell Ni²⁺/ Ni will act as an anode, and the standard cell potential is 0.26V. You are asked to find the standard reduction potential for the half cell Ni²⁺/ Ni.
You will have a half - reaction for both nickel and hydrogen
The conversion of the symbol Ni²⁺/ Ni half-cell is
Ni²⁺ + 2e⁻ → Ni (s) E = 0.26V
and the conversion of the standard hydrogen electrode (SHE) is
2H⁺ + 2e⁻ → H₂ (g) E = 0V
Since H⁺ ions is a it difficult to set up during the process, nickel will be deposited at the cathode side instead of the anode. Therefore, The standard electron potential of the nickel will have -0.26V.
