Suppose a galvanic cell contains one nickel electrode and one copper electrode. At 25°C, nickel has a negative reduction potential and copper has a positive reduction potential. At which electrode will reduction occur? Explain.
I believe the copper will be oxidized and the nickel reduced: Right?

What are the potentials? I could look them up but I should use numbers from your text/notes.
I believe the reduction values are .15 (copper) and -.25 (nickel)
