cell diagram
In a cell diagram, is the anode always on the left of the salt bridge and the cathode is always on the right side?

Re: cell diagram
Yes, the anode is always on the left of the salt bridge / porous disc, and the cathode on the right.

Re: cell diagram
When writing an oxidized and reduced species in the same phase are they always separated in the order (Oxidized, Reduced) in the cell diagram no matter what side of the cell diagram they're on?

Re: cell diagram
Cell diagrams are written in the order of electron flow. By that logic, the order of species should always go from oxidized to reduced, regardless of which side the electrodes are on in the drawing.
