The cell notation for the given voltaic cell is as follows

Al(s) | Al³⁺(aq) || Cr³⁺ (aq) | Cr(s)

<h3>What is a voltaic cell?</h3>

The device in which electrons are transferred through an external source is known as a voltaic cell.

The electron flow of a Voltaic cell allows redox reactions to produce energy in the form of electricity.

It converts the energy of spontaneous redox reaction into electrical energy

An anode, a cathode, and a salt bridge are all parts of a voltaic cell's setup. The salt bridge serves to neutralize the system.

To write the cell notation, identify the oxidation and reduction reactions.

At the anode, oxidation takes place

$Al(s) \longrightarrow Al^{3+} (aq) + 3e^-$

At the cathode, reduction takes place

$Cr^{3+} (aq) + 3e^- \longrightarrow Cr(s)$

While writing cell notation, the anode is written on the left, and the cathode is written on the right

A single vertical line differentiates between the phases and a double vertical line represents the salt bridge.

Now, write the cell notation of the given Voltaic cell

Al(s) | Al³⁺(aq) || Cr³⁺ (aq) | Cr(s)
