Identify the function of salt bridge.

Options

  1. AAs cathode
  2. BAs anode
  3. CTo connect two half cells.
  4. DTo measure electrode potential.

Correct answer

C. To connect two half cells.

Step-by-step solution

A salt bridge is a U-shaped tube containing an inert electrolyte in a gel-like substance. Its primary functions are to complete the electrical circuit by connecting the two half-cells and to maintain the electrical neutrality of the solutions in the two half-cells. Therefore, its function is to connect two half cells. Answer: To connect two half cells.
