Dependence of Cell Potential on Concentration Cu2+(aq) + Fe (s) Fe2+(aq) + Cu(s) What happens if the [Cu2+] goes up? Rxn shifts right. What happens to the cell potential (V)? Spontaneity (free energy) increases, and according to, G = -nFE The cell voltage will increase. Question: Now, what will happen if [Cu2+] = 1.0 M, and the [Fe2+] = 2.0 M ?

Answer: Rxn shifts left and cell voltage goes down.

10. Concentration Cells Heres a cell: Ag(s)/ [Ag+]=0.10M//[Ag+]=1.0M/ Ag(s) Question: Which way do the electrons flow in the circuit? Which electrode is the anode? The cathode?

11.Nernst Equation How do you calculate the cell potential when substances are not in their standard states? G = Go + RT ln (Q) And, G = -nFE So, -nFE = -nFEo + RT ln (Q) Or, E = Eo - RT ln(Q) nF

Or, at 25oC, the Nernst equation: E = Eo - 0.0592 log(Q) n thats because, lnQ = (2.306)(logQ) Question: Whats the E for a Daniel cell (Zn/Cu), where the solution concentrations are: [Cu2+]= 1.0M [Zn2+]= 0.50M Is the result consistent with Le Chateliers Principle?

When the cell is finished operating, it produces no more work, so G = 0 When G = 0, we know that this meansequilibrium! So, a cell is dead at equilibrium! Calculating K for redox rxns: E = Eo - 0.0592 log(Q) n at eqm, Q = K and E = 0, so log K = n Eo 0.0592 Question: Calculate the equilibrium constant for a Daniel cell.
