The Nernst equation: Consider the following galvanic cell Pb(s) | Pb^(2+)(aq.) || Ag^(2+)(aq.) | Ag(s) (a) What is the quantitative change in the cell voltage on increas-ing the ion concentrations in the anode compartment by a factor of 10 ? (b) What is the quantitative change in the cell voltage on increas-ing the ion concentration in the cathode compartment by a factor of 10 Strategy: The conventional notation of the cell tells us that lead is the anode while silve is the cathode. Therfore, the cell reaction is Pb(s) + 2Ag^(+)(aq.) rarr Pb^(2+)(aq.) + 2Ag(s) The cell potantial (at 25^(@)C ) is given by the Nernst equation, where n = 2 and Q = C_(Pb^(2+))//C_(Ag^(+)) : E_("cell") = E_("cell")^(@)-(0.0592 V)/(n) "logQ" E_("cell")^(@)-(0.0592 V)/(n) "logQ" C_(Pb^(2+))/C_(Ag^(+))^(2)
