What is effect of concentration of ions on electrode potential of an electrode?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The electrode potential of an electrode changes with the change in concentration of ions in solution in contact with metal.In simple words Reduction potential of an electrode is directly proportional to concentration of positive ions.
