Why salt bridge is made up of saturated solution of `KNO_(3)` in agar–agar.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Salt Bridge:** A salt bridge is a device used in electrochemical cells to maintain electrical neutrality by allowing the flow of ions between the two half-cells. It prevents the buildup of charge that would otherwise stop the reaction. 2. **Composition of the Salt Bridge:** The salt bridge is typically made from a saturated solution of potassium nitrate (KNO₃) mixed with agar-agar. Agar-agar serves as a gel-like medium that holds the solution in place, preventing it from spilling and allowing for stable ion movement. ...

    The reason why Saturated solution of KNO_3 is used to make 'salt-bridge'

    Assertion: If no more salt can be dissolved in the amount of water, the solution is said to be saturated solution. Reason : On heating the saturated solution, the salt will precipitate out.
