Electrodes
When writing cell diagrams, can you assume without being told in the question that Pt is the solid electrode? When can you assume this?

Re: Electrodes
You'll have to add Pt(s) to whichever side (or both sides) of the cell diagram (anode or cathode) doesn't have metal solid.

Re: Electrodes
if you do not have a solid in your half-reactions, you need to add a non-conductive metal such as Pt(s). I think you can add others but Pt is the typical one
