← ScienceWhich outcome results when a salt bridge fails in a galvanic cell?
A)Excessive electrode polarization accumulates charge✓
B)Faster ion transport is spontaneously activated
C)Electrode reactions become thermodynamically favorable
D)Internal cell resistance decreases rapidly
💡 Explanation
Electrode polarization occurs because the salt bridge maintains charge neutrality through ion flow; without it, charge buildup prevents further reaction; therefore, polarization, rather than faster transport or decreased resistance, is observed because concentration differences emerge.
