Chapter 11, Problem 11DQ

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The effect on the $E$ and $E^0$ needs to be explained as the concentration of ${\text{Zn}}^{\text{2+}}$ and concentration of ${\text{Ag}}^{\text{+}}$ is increased.

Concept introduction: Cell Potential is the driving force of a reaction. It can be given as,

  $E=E^0-RT\ln (Q)$

Here,

  $E^0$ is the reduction potential.

  $E$ is the cell potential.
