42
Q

Current runs from the ? Electrons run from the ?

A

I = cathode to anode e- = anode to cathode

43
Q

Which electrochemical cells are always spontaneous?

A

Galvanic or voltaic cells

44
Q

What is the purpose of the salt bridge?

A

exchange anions and cations to balance newly generated charges

45
Q

What do galvanic or non-chargeable batteries have a short lifespan?

A

Because the flow depletes the salt bridge

46
