Reading a Cell Diagram
How do you read a cell diagram from left to right? On the anode side and cathode side, how do you know which molecules are the reactants and products?

Re: Reading a Cell Diagram
You read a cell diagram from left to right. Usually the left reaction is the oxidized reaction (anode) while the right reaction is the reduced reaction (cathode)

I found this resource to be incredibly useful: https://chem.libretexts.org/Core/Analyt ... taic_Cells
Open source textbooks are pretty great (and I found this one to be more concise than our textbook).

Re: Reading a Cell Diagram
The oxidized reaction is on the left side, where the anode is, and the reduced reaction is on the right side, where the cathode is.
