ISE electrode question Please help:

An ideal Pb2+ ion-selective electrode is moved from a 2.01×10−5Pb(NO3)2 solution to a 1.04×10−3 Pb(NO3)2 solution at 25 °C.


By how many millivolts will the potential of the ion-selective electrode change when it is moved from the first solution to the second solution?

Hi sorry, I'm a bit confused on what the Eº is in the equation. What is that referring to? I know that Δ𝐸=𝐸2−𝐸1 but also should it be a positive value not a negative one?

E^0 is the standard potential. It is the standard reduction potential for Pb+2 —> Pb The sign of the potential is what it is. I just plugged in the numbers and if the math is correct, then potential is negative. If the math is wrong then it may be positive.
