Explain salt bridge and electrochemical cell??
Answers
Explanation:
- A salt bridge or ion bridge, in electrochemistry, is a laboratory device used to connect the oxidation and reduction half-cells of a galvanic cell (voltaic cell), a type of electrochemical cell. It maintains electrical neutrality within the internal circuit.
Answer:
A salt bridge or ion bridge, in electrochemistry, is a laboratory device used to connect the oxidation and reduction half-cells of a galvanic cell (voltaic cell), a type of electrochemical cell. It maintains electrical neutrality within the internal circuit. If no salt bridge were present, the solution in one half cell would accumulate negative charge and the solution in the other half cell would accumulate positive charge as the reaction proceeded, quickly preventing further reaction, and hence production of electricity.[1]
An electrochemical cell (resembling a Daniell cell) with a filter paper salt bridge. The paper has been soaked with a Potassium nitrate solution.
Salt bridges usually come in two types: glass tube and filter paper.
