cathode vs anode

[Alison Trinh 1E]

When given cell notation, how can you tell which is the anode or the cathode?

[Nohemi Garcia 1L]

If you're given the cell diagram, the cathode is usually on the right of the diagram and the anode on the left.

[Katie Kyan 2K]

I'm not sure what you mean by cell notation but in a cell diagram your anode is on the left hand side and the cathode is on the right hand side.

[Bryce Ramirez 1J]

Remember that the cathode will be on the right and the anode will be on the left. Electrons always flow from left to right because it's commonly accepted that the anode will be left and the cathode will be right.

[ASetlur_1G]

If Ecell is positive, the anode is on the left and the cathode is on the right. If Ecell is negative, the anode is on the right and the cathode is on the left.

The one with the lower reduction potential is your anode for galvanic cells

[KHowe_1D]

Usually in a cell diagram anode is on the left and cathode is on the right.

Anode is on the left and Cathode on the right

[Bryce Barbee]

Anode is left, cathode on the right

[Catherine Daye 1L]

In a cell diagram, the anode is on the left side, and the cathode is on the right.

Cathode is where reduction occurs, and the anode is where oxidation occurs.

[Cavalli_1H]

anode is on the left and cathode is on the right. if youre looking at the reactions taking place in in the cell, the anode is where oxidation takes place and the cathode is where reduction takes place
