Question:

An Fe/Fe2+ concentration cell is constructed in which both electrodes are pure iron. The Fe2+ concentration for one cell half is 0.5 M and for the other cell half is 2 × 10-2 M. Is a voltage generated between the two cell halves? If so, what is its magnitude and which electrode will be oxidized? If no voltage is produced, explain this result.
