Chapter 17, Problem 11ALQ

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The effect of change of concentration of ions over $E$ and $E°$ for the given galvanic cell is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The value of cell potential at the non-standard conditions is defined with respect to the Nernst equation, where the change in concentration of ions affects the value of cell potential. However, the value of cell potential at the standard conditions remains unaltered with change in the concentration of the ions.

To determine: The effect of change in concentration of ${\text{Zn}}^{2+}$ and ${\text{Ag}}^{+}$ over $E$ and $E°$ of the cell.
