Detailed Solution

Given  Ni|Ni(0.01M)2+||Cl-(0.01M)|Cl,Pt

The reactions are written as 

Ni2++2e-Ni; Eo=-0.25V Cl2+2e-2Cl-; Eo= +1.36V

on reversing the Ni electrode 

                              NiNi2+ +2e-; Eo=+0.25V                               Cl+2e-2Cl-; Eo=+1.36V                                ________________________ Overall reaction  Ni+Cl2Ni2+ +2Cl- Ecell o= 1.61V 

The Nernst equation is written as 

Ecell =Ecello-0.0591nlog [Ni2+] [Cl-]2                 =1.61- 0.05912 log [0.01] [0.01]2  on solving  Ecell=+ 1.79V
