9.10 Cell Potential Under Nonstandard Conditions
A galvanic cell is constructed at \(298\text{ K}\) according to the balanced chemical equation below. \[ \text{Zn}(s) + \text{Cu}^{2+}(aq) \rightarrow \text{Zn}^{2+}(aq) + \text{Cu}(s) \quad E^\circ_{\text{cell}} = +1.10\text{ V} \] The cell initially operates under standard conditions with \([\text{Zn}^{2+}] = 1.0\text{ M}\) and \([\text{Cu}^{2+}] = 1.0\text{ M}\). Distilled water is added to the cathode half-cell until the volume of the cathode solution is doubled, while the anode compartment remains unchanged. Which of the following best predicts and explains the effect of this dilution on the cell potential, \(E_{\text{cell}}\), immediately after mixing?
