A concentration cell is formed when:
Select the correct option:
Solution
Incorrect! Answer:
Both electrodes are of same material but different concentrations
A Concentration Cell is a unique electrochemical cell where the two half-cells are chemically identical but have different concentrations of the electrolyte.
- Structure: Both the anode and cathode are made of the same metal immersed in solutions of the same salt but at different concentrations (C1 and C2).
- EMF (Ecell): Driven purely by the entropy of dilution. The standard cell potential (E∘) is zero because the electrodes are identical.
- Reaction occurs as ions move from higher concentration to lower concentration symbolically through electron flow.
