`KNO_(3)` is used to make salt bridge because:

A

velocity of `k^(+)` and `NO_(3)^(-)`

B

velocity of `NO_(3)^(-)` is greater than that ofk `k^(+)`

C

velocity of both `k^(+)` and `NO_(3)^(-)` are nearly the same

D

`KNO_(3)` is highly soluble in water

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

The salt bridge possesses an electrolyte having nearly same ionic mobilities of its cation and anion.
