Concentration cell → anode and cathode are the same → cell = 0

Modified Nernst equation:

$\overline{){{\mathbf{E}}}_{{\mathbf{cell}}}{\mathbf{=}}{\mathbf{E}}{{\mathbf{°}}}_{{\mathbf{cell}}}{\mathbf{-}}\mathbf{\left(}\frac{\mathbf{0}\mathbf{.}\mathbf{0592}}{\mathbf{n}}\mathbf{\right)}{\mathbf{log}}\frac{\left[\mathrm{anode}\right]}{\left[\mathrm{cathode}\right]}}$
