For the given cell; Cu s Cu 2 + C 1 M Cu 2 + C 2 M Cu s change in Gibbs energy ∆ G is negative, it :

For the given cell; CusCu2+C1MCu2+C2MCus

change in Gibbs energy G is negative, it :

  1. C1=C2
  2. C2=C12
  3. C1=2C2
  4. C2=2 C1

Solution

For concentration cell Ecello¯=0

Anode : CusCu2+aqA

Cathode : Cu2+aqcCus

Overall : Cu2+aqcCu2+aq¯A

As ΔG=nFEcell

If ΔG=ve then Ecell is positive.

Ecell=Ecello¯0.0592logC1C2

Ecell=0.0592logC1C2

Ecell>0

 C2>C1
