QUESTION:

Consider the following cell diagram:

\(\mathrm{Mg}(s)\left|\mathrm{MgSO}_{4}(0.40 M) \| \operatorname{NiSO}_{4}(0.60 M)\right| \mathrm{Ni}(s)\)

Calculate the cell voltage at \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). How does the cell voltage change when (a) \(\left[\mathrm{Mg}^{2+}\right]\) is decreased by a factor of 4 and (b) \(\left[\mathrm{Ni}^{2+}\right]\) is decreased by a factor of 3?
