  29. Electrochemistry – ch 11 – Answers 11. Consider two electrodes connected by a wire. One side has 0.0001 M Fe2+/Fe (s) and the other side has 10 M Fe2+/Fe(s). a. Assign the electrodes This is a concentration cell => the voltage is strictly due to the difference in concentration => at equilibrium the concentrations are equivalent => the side with lower concentration will have to increase and vice versa until the concentrations meet in the middle and there will no longer be a voltage aka equilibrium => so in order to increase the concentration on the lower side Fe needs to get oxidized making it the anode => to decrease the concentration on the other side the Fe2+ needs to be reduced making it the cathode b. Determine the direction of electron flow anode to cathode or low conc to high conc Continue to next slide…
