A voltaic cell has a zinc anode and a copper cathode. They are connected by a wire but no salt bridge. What can you predict will happen? A. Without a salt bridge to slow it down the reaction will occur faster than normal. B. The electrons will flow to the zinc anode where a negative charge will build up and eventually halt the reaction. C. None of these D. The electrons will flow to the copper cathode where a negative charge will build up and eventually halt the reaction.

An uncovered pot of water lies out in the sun. which statements correctly describe what happens at the surface of the liquid water? 1. the vapor pressure remains constant regardless of the water temperature. 2. the vapor pressure is produced by water molecules that have evaporated. 3. the vapor pressure increases as the sun heats the water in the pot. 4. evaporation stops once the vapor pressure reaches a certain point. 5. evaporation and condensation both occur on the liquid’s surface.
