in a galvanic cell, if a concentration of an electrolyte is added does it affect the electron potential of that electrolyte?​

Answer:

Changing the concentration of one solution in the cell will increase the voltage potential of the cell because you are putting the system further out of equilibrium. Because the concentration in only one side of the cell has changed, the concentration gradient across both sides of the cell becomes steeper. In order for this experiment to work, the salt bridge must be concentrated enough to effectively separate the two electrolyte solutions, but it must also be porous enough to allow ionic flow.
