Representation of a Galvanic Cell –
(i) The metal and cation are separated by a semicolon or straight vertical line. The concentration of the electrolyte is also mentioned within the bracket just after the cation.
(ii) The salt bridge is represented by two vertical lines.
(iii) The anode is represented by the solid phase or the metal first, followed by the electrolyte.
(iv) A galvanic electrochemical cell can be represented by writing the anode on the left-hand side and cathode on the right-hand side.
