The voltage of a galvanic cell made with silver and nickel will depend on the specific conditions of the cell, such as the concentrations of the electrolytes and the temperature. Typically, a cell made with silver and nickel could have a voltage range between 0.8 to 1.0 V.
The electrolyte solutions in a galvanic cell contain ions that allow for the flow of electric current between the two half-cells. These ions help maintain charge balance and facilitate the chemical reactions that generate electricity.
The voltage of a galvanic cell made with silver and nickel will depend on the specific half-reactions involved. However, using standard reduction potentials, the cell voltage can be calculated as the difference between the reduction potentials of the two metals.

The source of electrical energy in a galvanic cell is the chemical reaction that takes place between the two half-cells. This reaction creates a flow of electrons from the oxidation half-reaction to the reduction half-reaction, generating an electric current. The movement of electrons through an external circuit is what produces the electrical energy.
The standard cell notation for a galvanic cell with aluminum and gold electrodes is represented as: Al(s) | Al³⁺(aq) || Au³⁺(aq) | Au(s). In this notation, the anode (aluminum) is listed on the left, and the cathode (gold) is on the right. The double vertical line (||) indicates the salt bridge or separation between the two half-cells. The state of each component (solid or aqueous) is also noted.
Electrons flow in the opposite direction.

.. A redox reaction at two electrodes causes electrons to flow.
This forms a galvanic (voltaic) cell (battery).
