Shown Below Is a Galvanic Cell with Anode Compartment B $\rarr$

question 173

Multiple Choice

Shown below is a galvanic cell with anode compartment b containing anode a and cathode compartment d containing cathode c.Electrons flow through wire f,ions flow through salt bridge e,and the cell potential is read using voltmeter g.
This galvanic cell uses the reaction: Cu(s) + 2 Ag⁺(aq) $\rarr$ 2 Ag(s) + Cu²⁺(aq) .
-The initial concentrations of Ag⁺(aq) and Cu²⁺(aq) are both 1.0 M.What will happen to the cell voltage if 5.0 M Cu(NO₃) ₂ is added to the compartment containing the 1.0 M Cu²⁺(aq) ? The cell voltage will

• A)decrease.
• B)increase.
• C)remain the same.
• D)can't tell from the information given
