Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Salt Bridge:** - A salt bridge is used in electrochemical cells to maintain electrical neutrality by allowing the movement of ions between the two half-cells without mixing the solutions. 2. **Characteristics of Salt Bridge Compounds:** - The compound used in a salt bridge should: - Maintain neutrality in the cell. - Allow the movement of ions from one solution to another. - Not mix the two solutions. 3. **Analyzing KCl:** - KCl (Potassium Chloride) dissociates into K⁺ (potassium ions) and Cl⁻ (chloride ions) in solution. - Both K⁺ and Cl⁻ ions are of similar size and charge, which allows for effective ion movement. 4. **Conclusion:** - Since KCl fulfills the necessary properties for a salt bridge, it can indeed be used in a salt bridge. 5. **Final Answer:** - Therefore, the statement "KCl can be used in a salt bridge" is **True**. ---
