May I ask why electrons won’t move if there’s a build up of charge?

[@OldSchoolChemistry]

Hi Audrey, They will be attracted/repelled by the half cell charges and therefore not move across the wire. Thanks!

[@seemabnayab2791]

Thank You! But will the ions of the salt bridge react with the ions of the solutions on entering the half cells?

[@OldSchoolChemistry]

Hi Seemab, No because both ions are soluble. Great question!

[@seemabnayab2791]

@@OldSchoolChemistry Oh Thank You! But will this be same for NaNO3, KNO3 and K2SO4?

[@OldSchoolChemistry]

No, because the product is soluble. The cations and anions will exist in the water solution as separate ions.

1:17 what’s the purpose of the salt bridge and the only thing that is moving is the salt and not the ions?

[@OldSchoolChemistry]

Hi Annie, The purpose of the salt bridge is to keep the half cells a neutral charge. As the ions/metals exchange in each half reaction they change the charge of the half cell. The salt bridge ions move to maintain a net zero charge in each half cell. I hope that helps. Thanks!

Anyone know if we need this for gcse chem triple?

I am sorry, I do not know:(
