Cell diagram

Postby Karina Kong 2H » Sun Mar 08, 2020 11:43 pm

How do you write the cell diagram if an element is aqueous on both sides?

You have to use commas instead of | to separate the two phases.

You use commas to separate them rather than I

If the reaction is aqueous on both sides, use commas to separate the species. You'll also need an inert metal (such as Platinum) to act as the conductor, which would go on the very left and right sides, separated from the aqueous species with single bars.

In a cell diagram, when there is no phase change, you separate with commas, if there is a phase change, you separate with a vertical line, and when changing from anode to cathode you use double vertical lines.

Use the vertical line! Also make sure to add in the inert metal on both ends separated with another vertical line.
