A voltaic cell utilizes the following reaction:
Al(s) + 3 Ag+(aq)--->Al3+(aq) + 3 Ag(s)
What is the effect on the cell emf of each of the following
changes? (a) Water is added to the anode half-cell, diluting
the solution. (b) The size of the aluminum electrode is
increased. (c) A solution of AgNO3 is added to the cathode
half-cell, increasing the quantity of Ag+ but not changing
its concentration. (d) HCl is added to the AgNO3 solution,
precipitating some of the Ag+ as AgCl.
