The electrochemical cell that utilizes the reaction Zn + Cu²⁺ (1 M) $\rarr$ Zn²⁺ (1 M) + Cu will have a lower cell emf when the concentrations of Zn²⁺ and Cu²⁺ ions are decreased to 0.1 M.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The cell emf is determined by the Nernst equation, which shows that decreasing the concentration of both Zn²⁺ and Cu²⁺ ions equally does not affect the cell potential, as the reaction quotient remains the same.
