Answer:
Inert electrode is an electrode that serves only as a source or sink for electrons without playing a chemical role in the electrode reaction. Precious metals, mercury, and carbon are typically used as inert electrodes

Answer:
Inert means it is not reactive. An inert electrode is needed to conduct the electrons but it is not part of the redox reaction. You only need an inert electrode (like Pt or C(gr)) if your reactants cant function as an electrode (like I2 and Ce ions). If you have a metal like Zn, Cu or Ag involved you can just use the metal
