Chemistry

A voltaic cell consists of a Pb/Pb2+ half-cell and a Cu/Cu2+half-cell at 25 ∘C. The initial concentrations of Pb2+ and Cu2+ are5.20×10−2M and 1.50 M,respectively.

A) What is the cell potential when the concentration of Cu2+ hasfallen to 0.250 M ?

B) What are the concentrations of Pb2+ and Cu2+ when the cellpotential falls to 0.36 V?
