6N.5(a)

[005942873_2B]

Is anyone able to explain how to calculate the concentration of a product or reactant given the cell diagram, E_cell, and molarity of one of the products (i.e. explain textbook question 6N.5 part a).

For that problem, you only require concentrations given to use the nernst equation

[705903057]

To calculate the concentration of a product or reactant in an electrochemical cell, given the cell diagram, cell potential, and the concentration of one species, use the Nernst equation. Identify the half-reactions, write the cell diagram, find the standard cell potential, and apply the Nernst equation to solve for the unknown concentration.
