Galvanic Cell

Postby Gabriela Carrillo 1B » Sun Feb 18, 2018 9:20 pm

For a Galvanic cell, is putting salt bridge as a label enough or do we have to indicate where the NaCl is going?

It is both useful for you and the grader to indicate the direction or flow of the charge. It wouldn't hurt you to include it, also because Na+ and Cl- would split and flow in different directions and not stay as NaCl if I understand correctly.

I think you should indicate there is a salt bridge and also the direction that the electrons are flowing in.

Will we have to draw a physical diagram of the galvanic cell for the exam? Or just write out the galvanic cell diagram with the lines representing the phase changes and the salt bridge?
