The standard electrode potentials of two half-cells are given as: $Ni^{2+}_{(aq)} + 2e^{-} \rightarrow Ni_{(s)}$; $E^o = -0.25 \ V$ and $Zn^{2+}_{(aq)} + 2e^{-} \rightarrow Zn_{(s)}$; $E^o = -0.76 \ V$. What is the standard $emf$ of the cell formed by connecting these two half-cells in $volt$?

  • A
    $-1.01$
  • B
    $+0.51$
  • C
    $+1.01$
  • D
