← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a salt bridge is removed during sustained operation of an electrochemical cell?
A)Redox reaction eventually ceases✓
B)Increased electrode mass dissolution
C)Higher overall cell voltage results
D)Electron flow rate becomes constant
💡 Explanation
The redox reaction ceases because charge buildup, or the absence of *ion transport*, interrupts current flow. Without the salt bridge's counter-ion movement, accumulating charge prevents continued electron transfer; therefore, the reaction stops rather than plate unevenly.
