Galvanic cells, cell notation and ion/electron paths

What this note covers

1. Build a galvanic-cell diagram from the reaction
2. Label anode, cathode and galvanic polarity
3. Trace the external and internal charge paths
4. Represent interfaces with cell notation
5. Use inert electrodes for couples without a solid conductor
6. Check consistency between the diagram and evidence
