Would a galvanic cell work without a salt bridge?
The electrolyte of a commercial galvanic cell normally extends from anode to cathode without interruption by a salt bridge. A salt bridge is normally a teaching tool to help show that: 1. Galvanic half-cells do not produce voltage 2. Conductors and insulators are not necessarily salt bridges. An electrolyte must extend from anode to cathode before the galvanic cell can produce voltage. 3. The chemical composition of the salt bridge can differ from the electrolytes in the half cells. 4. Ions travel through the salt bridge between the cell's anode and cathode. Salt bridges raise more questions than answers. For example: 1. Can the difference between an electrolyte and a conductor be defined? 2. How do ions quickly move through a solid or a long electrolyte? 3. When salt bridge composition differs from the galvanic cell electrolyte(s), must the salt bridge chemically react with the galvanic cell electrolyte(s)? 4. Why does galvanic cell voltage remain nearly constant while anode to cathode distance doubles.
Is salt solution an electrolyte?
A solution of salt (NaCl) is an electrolyte.
Is calcium electrolyte?
no, a calcium salt is an electrolyte
Is table salt a strong or weak or non-electrolyte?
Table salt is an electrolyte due to its ionic bonding. It will completely dissolve in aqueous solutions and is capable of conducting electricity.
Is Na2So4 solution being used in electro chemistry cell in salt bridge?
Sodium sulfate, or Na2SO4, would be a good choice for the electrolyte in a salt bridge, as it has a high water solubility. In most cases, the salts in the half-cells would then also have sulfate as the anion.
What kind of electrolyte used in salt bridge and why?
Kcl because of its high conductivity
How does a salt bridge improve battery?
It keeps the electrolyte solutions neutral.

What is salt bridge and give its function in a galvanic cell?
Salt bridge is a U-shaped tube contains a gel permeated with a solution of an inert electrolyte such as Na2SO4. The ions of the inert electrolyte do not react with the other ions in the solutions and they are not oxidised or reduced at the electrodes. The salt bridge is necessary to complete the electrical circuit and to maintain the electrical neutrality in both compartments (by flow of ions).
Is salt solution an electrolyte?
A solution of salt (NaCl) is an electrolyte.
Is salt water an electrolyte or nonelectrolyte?
electrolyte
Is calcium electrolyte?
no, a calcium salt is an electrolyte
What kind of chemical bond does salt have'?
Salt in water is considered to be a weak electrolyte. This is unless there is a great amount of salt in the water.
In a wet type of voltaic cell what is electrolyte a bridge of salt a copper strip an acidic liquid or a spontaneous flow of electrons?
the answer is an acidic liquid
WHAT IS THE CHARACTERISTIC OF A SALT?
A salt solution is an electrolyte.
Is table salt a strong or weak or non-electrolyte?
Table salt is an electrolyte due to its ionic bonding. It will completely dissolve in aqueous solutions and is capable of conducting electricity.
Are salt and glucose electrolytes?
Salt (sodium chloride) is an electrolyte in water solutions or when is melted. Glucose is not an electrolyte.
