So I am confused. I have searched around on this site and others for some help and haven't been able to find a good answer. So I just took a Kaplan Test and one of chemistry questions I got wrong doesn't make sense.
It asks: In electrochemical cells, salt bridges--
A) conduct current in galvanic cells
B) prevent charge buildup in galvanic cells
C) conduct current in electrolytic cells
D) prevent charge buildup in electrolytic cells
So I knew that A and C were wrong. I thought B and D were both right. I just put D which is wrong. Kaplan states that Electrolytic cells don't need salt bridges. From what I found online, I thought they do. Can someone clarifiy this? Thanks
