Cell Diagrams

[ASetlur_1G]

When do you use Platinum as an inert conductor in cell diagrams?

[Ariana Iranmahboub1G]

You use platinum as an electrode to transfer electrons if the half-reaction has no conducting solids in both the reactants and product.

[KarineKim2L]

We use platinum when we do not have a conducting solid in the reactants or products, such as when both the reactants and products are in solution (aq) instead of solid.

[Anna Heckler 2C]

Platinum won't get oxidized or reduced. The reactants in the electrolyte get oxidized/reduced at the surface of the inert electrode.

[Martina]

Platinum can be used to transfer electrons if there is no other conducting solid.
