How would Cu/Cu2+ elecrode potential (E) change if the concentration of Cu2+ ions was lower than 1 mol dm-3?

Cu2+(aq) + 2e- ⇌ Cu(s)     E = +0.34 V

E would remain unchanged

E would become less positive

E would become more positive

How would Fe2+/Fe3+ elecrode potential, E, change if the concentrations of Fe2+ and Fe3+ ions were changed by the same amount?

Fe3+(aq) + e- ⇌ Fe2+(aq)     E = +0.77 V

E would become more positive

E would remain unchanged

E would become less positive
