Chapter 18, Problem 50QAP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Importance of salt bridge in a galvanic cell should be discussed. Other methods that can be used in place of salt bridge should be mentioned.

Concept Introduction:

A Galvanic cell also known as electrochemical battery is a device that exploits a spontaneous oxidation reduction reaction to produce electrical energy. Here oxidizing agent and reducing agent has been separated, so that the electron generated by oxidation should travel through a wire from reducing agent to oxidizing agent.
