For the galvanic cell Zn(s)|Zn

^{2+}

(1.0 M) || Cu

^{2+}

(1.0 M) |Cu(s), predict how the cell potential will change if the Cu

^{2+}

concentration is increased to 2.0 M while Zn

^{2+}

remains at 1.0 M. State whether

E

increases, decreases, or remains the same and justify your choice in one sentence.
