cell diagram

[Kyle Rex 1K]

when writing the cell diagram and the reduction reaction will require a Platinum electrode, does the diagram look like (for example) ||Cl-|Pt or is it ||Pt|Cl- or does it even matter

[MAC 4G]

In your example, it should be ||Cl-|Pt

A trick is that solids should always be on the outermost part of your diagram, then it's gases (if they are present), and closest to the salt bridge, are your aqueous solutions.

(s)|(g)|(aq)||(aq)|(g)|(s)

[Lara Kristine Bacasen 1L]

It should be on the outermost part of the cell diagram. I think it useful that way too because sometimes the solid doesn't interact in the redox reaction like the Platinum electrode or the graphite electrode.

yes always make sure the solid is on the outermost side as well as making sure it is the anode that is on the left side and cathode on the right
