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

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The metal `(Zn^(2+))` formed by the loss of electrons will accumulate in one electrode and the negative ions `(SO_(4)^(2-))` will accumulate in the other. Thus, the solutions will develop charges and the current stops flowing. Moreover, inner circuit is not completed.
