For a concentration cell, the standard cell potential E°cell is:

Answer: zero.

  • A large and positive
  • B zero
  • C large and negative
  • D equal to one

Correct answer: B. zero

Explanation: Both electrodes are identical in a concentration cell, so E°cell = 0 and the EMF arises only from the concentration difference.
