Problem

Describe qualitatively how the potential of a

\mathrm{Cu^{2+}/Cu}

–

\mathrm{Zn^{2+}/Zn}

galvanic cell at 298 K will change (increase, decrease, or remain the same) if the concentration of

\mathrm{Cu^{2+}}

is decreased from

1.0\,\text{M}

0.010\,\text{M}

while all other conditions remain constant. Explain your reasoning in one to two sentences.
