A concentration cell is one wherein the concentrations of the same ion in the two electrodes are different. Due to this difference, a potential is measured but there is no redox reaction taking place. Consider the following data for a concentration cell consisting of copper ions. The cell notation is given as Cu| Cu2+ (x M) || Cu2+ (y M) | Cu Verify the accuracy of the cell potentials measured at 27.5°C shown in the table below for a copper concentration cell using the Nernst Equation.
