adding water

what would be the effect on the cell potential if you added water to the anode compartment??
or the cathode??

so if something occurs in a bomb calorimeter and then asks what the delta U is for reaction. i know w =0, but would q become negative- cause of the surrounding/system idea??

Re: 3/2

I know that part. But for only some questions do people put it in. like for entropy- only sometimes is 3/2 put in. Is it only when we have two temperatures that we are given? because when we are given two volumes- they never put 3/2R

i understand that you need to add H+

but when you balance how do you know what coefficient to put in front of the H2 and how many to put in front of the H+, because they are both H's
