John makes a galvanic cell with the half-reactions Mt3+(aq) + 3e1- -->Mt(s), and R2+(aq) + 2e1- --> R(s), with standard reduction potentials of 1.09 V and 0.34 V respectively. Would the value of the Gibbs free energy decrease, increase, or remain the same, if he changes the concentrations in the galvanic cell to 0.15 M Mt3+, and 0.45 M R2+?
