Standard reduction potential E

[Cristian Cortes 1L]

Why is it we are able to move around Cathode and Anode when finding E cell but for the oxidation where it is set from Left to Right. Also, what would be the best method to figure out these problems for the final exam ?? Thank you !

I thought the anode and cathode weren't necessarily things we move but rather distinct areas of the circuit that indicate electron flow? Can someone clarify this please? Thank you!

I am not exactly sure what you mean by moving around, however in a concentration cell, electrons are transferred from the anode to the cathode (left to right), through the aid of electrodes, salt bridge, circuits, powered by a voltage. Oxidation occurs in the anode where electrons are transferred out to the cathode, in which reduction occurs. hope this helps a bit!
