Question:
After eliminating salt bridge of any Galvanic cell, voltage of the cell:
After eliminating salt bridge of any Galvanic cell, voltage of the cell:
Show Hint
A salt bridge prevents charge buildup and ensures the flow of current in a galvanic cell.
Updated On: Mar 5, 2025
- Suddenly becomes zero
- Goes down slowly
- increases rapidly
- Remains unchanged
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
The salt bridge maintains ionic balance and completes the circuit in a galvanic cell. Removing it stops ion flow, making the cell voltage drop to zero instantly.

Standard electrode potential for \( \text{Sn}^{4+}/\text{Sn}^{2+} \) couple is +0.15 V and that for the \( \text{Cr}^{3+}/\text{Cr} \) couple is -0.74 V. The two couples in their standard states are connected to make a cell. The cell potential will be:
To calculate the cell potential (\( E^\circ_{\text{cell}} \)), we use the standard electrode potentials of the given redox couples.
Given data:
\( E^\circ_{\text{Sn}^{4+}/\text{Sn}^{2+}} = +0.15V \)
\( E^\circ_{\text{Cr}^{3+}/\text{Cr}} = -0.74V \)- CBSE CLASS XII - 2025
