Re: platinum
In the sixth edition, for question 14.13, they added platinum to both sides even though I2 (s) was present on one side?

Re: platinum
So, the Pt is added if there is not a solid on either one or both sides. But, you add it to both sides even if one side already has a solid conductor.

Re: platinum
I2 is not a metal, and therefore it cannot act as a conductor. Because of this, you will need platinum.

Re: platinum
On the side with no solid metal on it. The platinum will be used to replace the missing solid metal needed for the reaction to proceed.
