Writing reaction equations for concentration cells

[Tai Metzger 3K]

Hi! I was having trouble figuring out how to write the overall reaction equation for a concentration cell when give a figure of the concentration cell. Could someone help me with this? Thanks!

In a concentration cell, the reactions are the same and will cancel out. I believe there would not be an overall reaction.

Typically, these problems are provided via cell diagram and ask a question that involves using the Nernst equation in order to calculate a missing concentration or to calculate the cell potential. (E° would be equal to 0).

Also, the cathode is the site in which reduction takes place, and the anode is the electrode in which oxidation takes place.
