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.
No, the cathode is negative in a galvanic cell.
The other name of voltaic cell is galvanic cell
Yes, the anode is negative in a galvanic cell.
Yes, the anode is positive in a galvanic cell.
In a galvanic cell, the cathode is positive.
This forms a galvanic (voltaic) cell (battery).
A salt bridge is a device used in chemistry laboratories to connect the oxidation and reduction half-cells of a voltaic cell (galvanic cell).
A galvanic cell is a spontaneous reaction so electron flow will occur as long as a salt bridge is present.
No, the cathode is negative in a galvanic cell.
The other name of voltaic cell is galvanic cell
Yes, the anode is negative in a galvanic cell.
Yes, the anode is positive in a galvanic cell.
In a galvanic cell, the cathode is positive.
The voltaic cell
In a galvanic cell, the anode is the negative electrode.
In a galvanic cell, the cathode is the positive electrode.
This forms a galvanic (voltaic) cell (battery).
