inert gases

[Kaylee Clarke 1G]

when do you include an inert gas in the cell diagram? and why is it only for one side (cathode or anode) or on both the cathode and anode?

I think you would only include it if it is participating in the reaction, otherwise you wouldn't.

If it is one of the substances being oxidized or reduced, then you would include it on its respective side (anode/left side if it's being oxidized or cathode/right side if it's being reduced).

what of the elements such as platinum that seem to be attached to a cell diagram?

what of the elements such as platinum that seem to be attached to a cell diagram?

Pt(s) is used as a conductor when there is no conductive solid participating in the redox reaction. It is added to the cell diagram but does not participate.

Platinum is just used as a conductor when there is no conductive solid in the rxn, so it usually is added to the cell diagram since it helps move electrons.

Platinum is used because it is an inert electrode.
