What would happen if no salt bridge is used in electroChemical cell ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The positive ions i.e `(Zn^(2+))` formed by loss of electrons will accumulate around zinc electrode and negative ions i.e `(SO_(4)^(2+))` left after reduction of `Cu^(2+)` ions will accumulate around copper electrode thus the solution will develop charges and the current stops flowing further since inner circuit is not complete therefore the current stops flowing
