Reducing Mass of Electrode

[805312064]

Does halving the mass of the electrode affect the cell potential? If so, how?

[Connie Chen 1E]

Halving the mass of an electrode will not affect the cell potential because cell potential is an intensive property, meaning it is not affected by the quantity of a species present.

[Abby Soriano 1J]

Changing the mass of the electrode shouldn't affect the cell potential since cell potential is only affected by things like concentration, which solids don't play a part in.

[Sartaj Bal 1J]

Halving the mass of the electrode should not affect the cell potential because voltage difference is the same and does not depend on how many times the reaction occurs/how much of the substance that makes up the electrode is present.

[RobertXu_2J]

The electrodes is referring to the solid parts, and changing their masses does not affect the cell potential because solids are not included when calculating Q.

[Catherine Daye 1L]

The cell potential does not depend on the mass of an electrode.

[JChen_2I]

Changing the mass of the electrode doesn't affect cell potential. Changing the concentration DOES change cell potential.
