Question
Semi permeable membrane
Consider the above electrochemical cell where a metal electrode ( M ) is undergoing redox reaction by forming $M^{+}\left( M \rightarrow M^{+} + e \right)$. The cation $M^{+}$is present in two different concentrations $c_{1}$ and $c_{2}$ as shown above. Which of the following statement is correct for generating a positive cell potential?
Options
A.If $c_{1}$ is present at anode, then $c_{1} = c_{2}$
B.If $c_{1}$ is present at cathode, then $c_{1} < c_{2}$
C.If $c_{1}$ is present at cathode, then $c_{1} > c_{2}$
D.If $c_{1}$ is present at anode, then $c_{1} > c_{2}$
