Chemistry: Concentration cell

Concentration cells are galvanic (or voltaic) cells made of two half-cells, each of which containing the same electrodes, but different concentrations. Concentration cells work to establish equilibrium by transferring electrons from the cell with the lower concentration to the cell with the higher concentration. The electrode potential difference between the two half-cells can be calculated using the Nernst   equation.

Chemistry

Did you know that everything is made out of chemicals? Chemistry is the study of matter: its composition, properties, and reactivity. This material roughly covers a first-year high school or college course, and a good understanding of algebra is helpful.
