Question

In the experiment set up for the measurement of EMF of a half cell using a reference electrode and a salt bridge, when the salt bridge is removed, the voltage

Options:

A . Does not change

B . Decreases to half the value

C . Increase to maximum

D . Drops to zero

Answer: Option D
:
D
The salt bridge is required to maintain electrical neutrality. When the salt bridge is removed, charges would accumulate at the electrodes which prevents production of electricity.
