Question
Answer the following in one or two sentences.
What is the significance of the single vertical line and double vertical line in the formulation galvanic cell?
Solution
- A single vertical line placed between two phases in the galvanic cell represents the phase boundary. It indicates direct contact between them.
- A double vertical line placed between two solutions indicates that they are connected by salt bridge.
