Final answer:

The more positive SRP is the reductant placed on the cathode side of the equation when calculating E° and given SRPs.

Step-by-step explanation:

When calculating E° and the SRPs (Standard Reduction Potentials) are given, the one with the more positive SRP is the reductant, and it is placed on the cathode side of the equation.
