[CHM 112] Overall Reactions for Concentration Cells

[Andrew J. Pounds]

On the lab you are not only asked to write balanced cell reactions for 
reactions involving different metals, but in the case of copper you are 
asked to write balanced reactions for systems with the same metal, but 
with different concentrations.  You can do something like this.

Cu^2+ (0.10 M) + Cu (s) -> Cu^2+ (0.01 M) + Cu (s)

Now note, while $E^{\circ}_{\mathrm{cell}}$ will be zero in this case, 
$E_{\mathrm{cell}}$ will not.

Let me know what other questions you have.
