The standard reduction potential
E
θ
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
l
V
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
Mg

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:

Indicating that connecting the two cells will generate a potential difference of

It takes 0.26 minutes to travel 1000 feet
<u>Solution:</u>
Given that car traveling at a constant speed travels 175 miles in four hours
Distance = 175 miles
Time taken = 4 hours
Convert the units to feet and minute
Given that,
1 mile = 5280 feet
175 miles = 5280 x 175 feet = 918720 feet
Also we know that,
1 hour = 60 minutes
4 hours = 60 x 4 minutes = 240 minutes
Thus, we got,
Distance = 918720 feet
Time taken = 240 minutes
<em><u>Find the speed of car</u></em>
<em><u>Speed is given by formula:</u></em>
Thus speed of car is 3828 feet per minute
<em><u>How many minutes will it take for the car to travel 1000 feet?</u></em>
Let "x" be the minutes needed for 1000 feet
speed of car is 3828 feet per minute
1 minute = 3828 feet
x minute = 1000 feet
This forms a proportion. We can solve by cross multiplying
Thus it takes 0.26 minutes to travel 1000 feet
