What would happen if no salt bridge were used in the elctrochemical cell (e.g Zn - Cu cell )? |
| Answer» Solution :The positive ions i.e `(ZN^(2+))` formed by loss of electrons will accumulate AROUND zinc electrode and negative ions i.e `(SO_(4)^(2+))` left after reduction of `Cu^(2+)` ions will accumulatearound copper electrode thus the solution will DEVELOP charges and the current stops FLOWING further since inner circuit is not COMPLETE therefore the current stops flowing | |
