A standard solution of `KNO_(3)` is used to make salt bridge, because

A

The velocity of `K^(o+)` is greater than that of `NO_(3)^(o+)`.

B

The velocity of `NO_(3)^(o+)` is greater than that of `K^(o+)`

C

The volocities of `K^(o+)` and `NO_(3)^(o+)`.same

D

`KNO_(3)` is highly solubel in water.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
c

A saturated solution of `KNO_(3)` is used to make salt`-` bride because the velocities of both `K^(o+)` and `NO_(3)^(c-)` are nearly the same. This keeps a uniform distribution of charges on both sides.

A salt bridge

Saturated solution of KNO_3 with agar-agar is used to make 'salt bridge' because:

Assertion (A): A saturated solution of KCl is used in making salt bridge. Reason (R): Ionic mobilities of K^(+) and Cl^(-) are comparable.

Gold is used to make jewellery because

An aqueous solution of KNO_3 is basic due to hydrolysis

A salt bridge may contain:

Assertion (A): When an aqueous solution of KNO_(3) is electrolyzed, potassium is liberated at the cathode. Reason (R): K^(+) ions are discharged at cathode and NO_(3)^(-) at anode.

Assertion : Insert electrolytes like KCl, KNO_(3) are used in salt bridge. Reason : Salt bridge provides an electric contact between the two solutions without allowing them to mix with each other.
