Which type of electrolytes are used in a salt bridge?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Only those electrolytes for which cations and anions have nearly the same ionic mobilities (i.e distance travelled by an ion per second under a potential gradient one volt) are used as electrolytes in the salt bridge. Thus KCl, `KNO_3,K_2SO_4 and NH_4NO_3` are preferred over NaCl, `NaNO_3` and `Na_2 SO_4`.
