Question

Is the following statement true or false? Concentration cells work because standard reduction potentials are dependent on concentration. Explain.

Short answer

The given statement should betrue.Concentration cells work because standard reduction potentials are dependent on concentration.

Step-by-step solution

Definition of standard reduction potential

The tendency to measure a chemical substance reduction is called standard reduction potential. It must be compared to the 0.00 V potential of the standard hydrogen potential reference electrode. It can be expressed involts

Standard reduction potential depend on concentration

The working takes place due to the concentration dependence on standard reduction potential. There is a production of electricity from concentration cells which can be extracted using difference in concentration within same reaction

Production of energy from thermal source

The electricity can be produced from thermal energy. When the electricity passed from one cell to another, the cells can take up the heat. Due to the chemical concentration merging into two cells, it is possible to even without a temperature gradient which increases entropy and decreases entropy compensation on heat conversion.
