Read the diagram from half-cell to half-cell: place solids and ions in the right order, use Pt when needed and translate notation into half-equations.

How this is tested

  • Write cell diagrams with correct species order, single lines and double salt-bridge lines.
  • Choose Pt in notation when no conducting solid appears in an ion-only redox half-cell.
  • Derive oxidation, reduction and overall equations from conventional cell notation.
