    Co⁰ - 3e⁻ → Co³⁺ (cobalt loses electrons so it is oxidized)

    Explanation:

    When a substance is oxidized it means that it loses electrons.

    When a substance is reduced it means that it gains electrons.

    Ni²⁺ + 2e⁻ → Ni⁰ (nickel gains electrons so it is reduced)

    Co⁰ - 3e⁻ → Co³⁺ (cobalt loses electrons so it is oxidized)
