adding platinum

[Clarice Chui 2C]

How can you tell if a cell diagram needs an inert metallic component?

[Pablo 1K]

It will tell you if there is another metal, if not put platinum if writing out how the cell would look like. Platinum is most commonly used as an electrode.

[Rafsan Rana 1A]

Also, hydrogen electrodes need an inert metal such as platinum.

[zfinn]

If there isn't a viable metal electrode listed in the equation then platinum can be used/put in the diagram

[Vuong_2F]

when there is no conducting solid in reactants or products, add platinum as a common inert conductor

[Charysa Santos 4G]

Platinum (solid) is needed when there is no electrode for a given anode/cathode.

[EllieSchmidtke_4I]

This is needed when there’s not already a solid present.

[ValerieChavarin 4F]

If there is no conductive solid already participating in the redox reaction, then you would need to [censored] an inert metal such as Pt(s)

[Jiyoon_Hwang_2I]

Does the inert metal always have to be platinum? How do you know when to use platinum or any other inert metal?
