- C. To connect two half cells.
- D. To measure electrode potential.
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.
