Schematicize of batteries
Batteries is established with an anode and a cathode. When
schematizing, anode is write to the left and cathode is writed to the
right related to salt bridge (% 3 agar solution saturated with KCl) and
these are bonded with a salt bridge.

Determination of anode and cathode if conditions are not standard
If the conditions deviate from the standard, is calculated according to
the potential Nernst equation, and if it is more positive then the pole
becomes the anode and the other becomes the anode.
It is desired that the system formed by combining a semi-cell consisting of an aluminum electrode immersed in a 0.01 M Sn
2+solution with a semi-cell filled with 0.01 M Cu
2+solution is a galvanic cell. What is the electromotor force for this?
