0.150 A = 0.150 C/sec
31.0 hours x 60 min/hour x 60 sec/min = 111,600 sec
0.150 C/sec x 111,600 sec = 16,740 C
16,740 C x 1 mol electrons / 96,485 C = 0.173 mols of electrons were transferred
Looking at the reaction of the galvanic cell ...
Pb2+ + Ni ==> Ni2+ + Pb Eº = 0.13 + 0.25 = +0.12 V (using standard reduction potentials)
0.173 mols e- transferred x 1 mol Pb / 2 mols e- = 0.0865 mols Pb2+ and Ni reacting
Convert this to molar concentration of Pb2+ and Ni2+ (moles / 0.355 L)
Use the Nernst equation to find Ecell (Eºcell = Eº - 0.0592/n log Q where Q = [ Ni2+]/[Pb2+]
(If you have a problem finishing this, drop a comment and hopefully I'll see it and respond)

Hi, JRS Shouldn't the concentration of Pb reacted be subtracted from the initial concentrations of 1 M to get the final concentration and the final concentration of Ni be incremented by the Ni concentration reacted?03/09/22
