← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a saltwater bridge is removed mid-electrolysis?
A)Electrode polarization rapidly increases✓
B)Hydroxide ions evenly neutralize
C)Chloride ions excessively diffuse
D)Anode oxidation immediately ceases
💡 Explanation
Electrode polarization rapidly increases because the ionic current flow decreases abruptly when the saltwater bridge, which relies on ionic transport, is removed, therefore charge accumulates at the electrodes rather than neutralizing; this build-up doesn't occur with intact bridge.
