Chapter 17, Problem 19QRT

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

In a voltaic cell, the function played by a salt bridge has to be stated.

Concept Introduction:

The cell which is used for the production of electricity by the use of a spontaneous process is termed as the voltaic cell.  It contains an external and internal circuit.  The external circuit allows the movement of electrons from anode to cathode.  The internal circuit consists of a salt bridge that allows the flow of ions.
