Consider the standard galvanic cell based on the following halfreactions The electrodes in this cell are Ag(s) and Cu(s). Does the cell potential increase, decrease, or remain the same when the following changes occur to the standard cell? a. CuSO4(s) is added to the copper half-cell compartment (assume no volume change). b. NH3(aq) is added to the copper half-cell compartment. Hint: reacts with NH3 to form (aq). c. NaCl(s) is added to the silver half-cell compartment. Hint: Ag_ reacts with to form AgCl(s). d. Water is added to both half-cell compartments until the volume of solution is doubled. e. The silver electrode is replaced with a platinum electrode.
