(i) The nickel electrode with smaller `E^(@)` value (-0.25 V) will work as anode while copper with more `E^(@)` value (+0.34) will work as cathode.
(ii) The cell reaction may be written as :
`{:("At anode: " Ni(s)toNi^(2+)(aq)+2e^(-)),("At cathode: " Cu^(2)(aq)+2e^(-)toCu(s)),("Cell reaction: " bar(Ni(s)+Cu^(2)(aq)toNi^(2+)(aq)+Cu(s))):}`
(iii) The cell may be represented as :
`Ni(s)|Ni^(2+)(aq)||Cu^(2+)(aq)|Cu(s)`
(iv) emf of cell `=E_(cathode)^(@)-E_(anode)^(@)=(+0.34)-(-0.25)=0.59 V`
