a salt bridge

∙ 12y ago
In a galvanic cell, charge buildup is prevented by the flow of electrons through the external circuit, connecting the two half-cells. This flow of electrons allows for balanced oxidation and reduction reactions to occur, maintaining overall charge neutrality in the cell. Additionally, the presence of a salt bridge or ion-permeable membrane helps to balance the charges in the half-cells by allowing ion movement to neutralize any charge buildup.

What prevents charge build up in galvanic cell?
A salt bridge
What is another name for galvanic cell?
The voltaic cell
Does an electrolytic cell release energy?
A cell with a negative voltage charge.
Which of the following best describes a galvanic cell?
A Spontaneous Redox Reaction
What is the standard cell notation of a galvanic cell made with magnesium and gold?
Zn(s)/Zn2+(aq)//Au+(aq)/Au(s)
What prevents charge build up in galvanic cell?
A salt bridge
Another name for voltaic cell is?
The other name of voltaic cell is galvanic cell
What is another name for galvanic cell?
The voltaic cell
What is the charge buildup when speaking about an electric cell?
it is current per unit time
What is another name for the galvanic cell?
A battery that produces electricity
In an electrochemical cell what is the purpose of the salt bridge?
The salt bridge allows the flow of ions between the two half-cells in an electrochemical cell, completing the circuit and maintaining charge balance. It prevents the mixing of the solutions in the two half-cells while allowing the transfer of ions to balance the charge buildup during the redox reactions.
Does an electrolytic cell release energy?
A cell with a negative voltage charge.
What does salt bridge contain?
A salt bridge contains an electrolyte solution, typically potassium chloride (KCl) or sodium chloride (NaCl). It is used to maintain electrical neutrality in a galvanic cell by allowing the flow of ions between the two half-cells, preventing the buildup of charge and facilitating the continuous flow of electrons.
What is the difference between a galvanic cell and a voltaic cell?
There is no difference between a galvanic cell and a voltaic cell - they are two terms that refer to the same type of electrochemical cell that converts chemical energy into electrical energy. Both terms are commonly used interchangeably in the field of chemistry.
The function of the galvanic cell?
To store electricity
What is a Anode?
The electrode that is oxidized in a galvanic cell ~
How can galvanic cell become an electrolytic cell?
the redox reaction is reserved
