Question

I wanted to know about the cell reaction at anode and cathode of
nickle cadmium cell as fast as possible

Goutam Pradhan · Accepted Answer

Solution:
At Anode:
Cd(s) + 2OH-(aq) →
Cd(OH)2(s) + 2e-
At Cathode:
2NiOOH(s) + 2H2O(l) +
2e- → 2Ni(OH)2(s) +
2OH-(aq)

Overall Cell reaction:
2NiOOH(s) + Cd(s) +
2H2O(l) → Cd(OH)2(s) +
2Ni(OH)2(s)
