What is Salt bridge . Give its function in electrochemical?
Answers
⟶ A commonly used form of salt bridge consists of a glass U- tube containing semi- solid paste of either KCl, or in gelatin or agar-agar jelly.
The electrolytes that are often used in salt bridge are called inert electrolytes which are supposed:
not to interact chemically weather of the solutions present in a anodic or cathodic Chambers.
not to interfere with overall cell reaction.
only those electrolytes can be used in a Salt Bridge in which mobility of Ions is almost the same.
Example, KCl,, etc.
A salt bridge carries out two important functions:
It allows only flow of Ions through it. Thus, the circuit is completed.
It also maintains the electrical neutrality.
A salt bridge, in electrochemistry, is a laboratory device used to connect the oxidation and reduction half-cells of a galvanic cell (voltaic cell), a type of electrochemical cell
functions-:
a) It allows the flow of current by completing the circuit.
b) It it maintains electrical neutrality.
