    1. The document discusses how changes in concentration affect electrode potential and cell potential. Increasing the concentration of the oxidized form of a half-reaction increases electrode potential while increasing the reduced form decreases it. 2. It also provides examples of half-reactions and predicts how changing concentrations would affect electrode potential. For a cell, increasing the concentration of the oxidized species increases cell potential while decreasing the reduced species concentration has the same effect. 3. Factors that can increase cell potential at constant temperature include increasing the concentration of the oxidized species or decreasing the concentration of the reduced species in either half-cell reaction.
