How to calculate cell potential for concentration cell?

Answer:

A concentration cell is an electrolytic cell that is comprised of two half-cells with the same electrodes, but differing in concentrations. A concentration cell acts to dilute the more concentrated solution and concentrate the more dilute solution, creating a voltage as the cell reaches an equilibrium. This is achieved by transferring the electrons from the cell with the lower concentration to the cell with the higher concentration.

The standard electrode potential, commonly written as Eocell, of a concentration cell is equal to zero because the electrodes are identical. But, because the ion concentrations are different, there is a potential difference between the two half-cells. One can find this potential difference via the Nernst Equation,

Ecell=Eocell−0.0592nlogQ

When Q=1, meaning that the concentrations for the products and reactants are the same, then taking the log of this equals zero. When this occurs, the Ecell is equal to the Eocell.

Another way to use the Eocell , or to find it, is using the equation below.  

Eocell=Eocathode−Eoanode
