Cell diagram order

[manasa933]

In a cell diagram, is there any specific order in which we write the redox couple in the same phase?

[Qining Jin 1F]

In the textbook, it ways to write the oxidized form, reduced form; however in the solutions manual, sometimes they have the reduced form before the oxidized form, so I am not sure

[Lily Guo 1D]

I think that usually cell diagrams are written in the order of oxidation | reduction, although the solutions manual sometimes does have it in a different order. I would stick with oxidation | reduction because that's what we've mostly seen in lecture.

Usually the oxidation (anode) is written on the left and the reduction (cathode) is written on the right. This can be remembered by R in reduction also standing for right.

The written cell diagram typically mirrors the set up of the battery in that the anode(oxi) is on the left while the cathode(red) is on the right side.
