Which is the correct cell notation for the following reaction? Au³⁺(aq) + Al(s) → Al³⁺(aq) + Au(s)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In cell notation, the anode (oxidation) is written on the left and the cathode (reduction) on the right, separated by a double line (||) which represents the salt bridge. The reactants and products are written from left to right in the order: solid electrode|aqueous solution||aqueous solution|solid electrode. In this reaction, aluminum (Al) is oxidized and gold (Au) is reduced, so Al and its ion should be on the left and Au and its ion on the right.
