2.5.1 Electrode potentials and concentration
The electrode potential measures how easily a species gains or loses electrons. It depends on the concentration of the ions in the redox reaction. When the concentration of ions changes, the position of equilibrium shifts according to Le Chatelier's Principle, which in turn changes the electrode
