Which statement is incorrect about the setup of voltaic cell? The salt bridge allows a flow of ions that neutralizes the charge build up in the solution. A voltaic cell is an electrochemical cell that uses spontaneous redox reactions to generate electricity. It consists of two separate half-cells. A salt bridge also connects to the half cells. In Voltaic cells, oxidation occurs at cathode and reduction occurs at anode. Salt bridge is a tube usually filled with an electrolyte solution such as KNO3(s) or KCl(s)

Which statement is correct for functioning galvanic (voltaic) cells based on the following reaction? Ag+ (aq) + Sn(s) --> Ag (s) + Sn2+ (aq) Answer Choices : Sn is the anode, Ag is the anode, A salt bridge is not needed since ions are present as reactants and products, The Ecell will be negative
