Detailed Solution

Ni2++2e-Ni;E°=-0.25V

Cl2+2e-2Cl-;E°=+1.36V

on reversing the Ni electrode

                                  NiNi2++2e-;E°=+0.25V                                   Cl+2e-2Cl-;E°=+1.36V                                   ________________________ Overall reaction: Ni+Cl2Ni2++2Cl-;Ecell°=1.61V

The Nernst equation is written as

Ecell=Ecell°-0.0591nlogNi2+Cl-2

=1.61-0.05912log0.010.012

On solving, Ecell=+1.79V
