Question: For the voltaic cell, (a) what isE cell initially? (b) As the cell operates, willE cell increase, decrease, or remain constant with time? Explain. (c)

For the voltaic cell,

Ag(s) Ag+ (0.015 M)||Fe+ (0.055 M), Fe+ (0.045 M) Pt(s)

(a) what is Ecell initially?

(b) As the cell operates, will Ecell increase, decrease, or remain constant with time? Explain.

(c) What will be Ecell when [Ag+] has increased to 0.020 M?

(d) What will be [Ag+] when Ecell = 0.010 V?

(e) What are the ion concentrations when Ecell = 0?

Ag(s) Ag+ (0.015 M)||Fe+ (0.055 M), Fe+ (0.045 M) Pt(s)
