Vertical lines vs commas

[Rhea Shah 2F]

How do you know when to add vertical lines in between the components of a cell diagram, versus when to add commas?

[Cavalli_1H]

im not entirely sure but my ta instructed for us to just worry about using lines for this class at least

[Isabella Dal Porto 1H]

Commas are for when it's the same state (ex. Fe²⁺ _(aq), Fe³⁺ _(aq)), and vertical lines separate different states like g or aq.

[Janet Nguy 2C]

Vertical lines in cell diagram represent a change in phase (if there's double vertical lines, then it indicates the presence of a salt bridge). Commas separate two species of the same phase, most of the time this will be ions in aqueous solution.

Use vertical lines between different phases (i.e. s|g|l|aq) and double vertical lines between anode and cathode (anode||cathode). Use commas between molecules of the same phase ( i.e Pt(s), C(s) )

[Renee Grange 1I]

Vertical lines are used to separate species in different states. Commas are used to separate species in the same states.

[Matthew Chan 1B]

If they are in the same state, then use commas.
Ex: Fe³⁺(aq),Fe²⁺(aq)
If they are different states, then use the vertical lines to indicate that.

[EllieSchmidtke_4I]

A vertical line is for separating components of different states, whereas a comma separates components of the same state.
Ex: (s)|(g) versus (aq),(aq)
