Nickel cаdmium bаtteries were оne оf the оriginаl rechargeable batteries used in consumer products, although they have now largely been superseded by lithium ion batteries. The overall redox reaction and an image of a rechargeable battery are shown below. 2 NiO(OH) + Cd + 2H2O → 2 Ni(OH)2 + Cd(OH)2 The chemistry of the two half reaction is complicated (as usual for actual batteries), but you don't need to understand the details of the reactions to answer this question, you just need to know how to calculate Ecell. What voltage will the Nickel-Cadmium battery produce, i.e., what is Ecell for this system? Use the following balanced half cell potential data. Note that you are provided with Eox this time, no need to switch signs! Cd  +  2-OH  →    Cd(OH)2  + 2e-                                      Eox = +0.82V 2 NiO(OH)  +  2 H2O  +  2e-  →  2 Ni(OH)2  + 2 -OH      Ered = +0.60V
