    The spontaneous reaction that takes place in this cell is

    A) \[Zn+Ni\xrightarrow{{}}Z{{n}^{2+}}+N{{i}^{2+}}\]

    B) \[Zn+N{{i}^{2+}}\xrightarrow{{}}Z{{n}^{2+}}+Ni\]

    C) \[Ni+Z{{n}^{2+}}\xrightarrow{{}}N{{i}^{2+}}+Zn\]

    D) \[N{{i}^{2+}}+2K\xrightarrow{{}}2{{K}^{+}}+Ni\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[Zn\]is at lower potential, it will be oxidised and the cell reaction will be       . \[Zn(s)+N{{i}^{2+}}(aq)\xrightarrow{{}}Z{{n}^{2+}}(aq)+Ni(s)\]
