Help! Test Tommorow - How does increasing the concentration of the anode/cathode affect voltage of Daniel Cell
What effect does increasing the conc. of the cathode electrolyte have?
Answer:
Im not sure but Ithink it has a connection with Nernst's eqn
E = Eo - RT/nF(ln C)
E= electrode potential
Eo = std electrode potential
R = uniersal gas const.
T= temp in absolute scale
n = no of electrons exchanged
F= faraday = 96500 coulombs
where C is the concentration of the electrolyte,
so as C increases , E decreases.
these should be applicable to both the electrode.
I'm sorry my friend, but I'm not sure.
the higher the difference in concentration, the higher the voltage
