Cell Diagrams: Inert Conductors

Postby Shirley Liu 2I » Sun Mar 03, 2019 10:20 pm

How would you be able to tell if there's an inert conductor in a cell diagram if you're only given a redox reaction? (since inert conductors aren't included in the redox reaction)

You know that two different redox half reaction take place in two different containers. First, you need to identify the two different half reactions. Then, in the half reactions, if there is no solid (electric-conducting metal usually) that can act as a conductor, you need an inert electrode.
