SALT BRIDGE
Need of salt bridge
(1) excess +ve charge on left half + excess -ve charge on right half
(2) Incomplete circuit
(3) To complete circuit and maintain electric neutrality
Salt Bridge
(1) Invert U- shaped tube having inert electrolyte past in agar-agar or gelatin
Inert electrolyte + water +Agar-Agar
(2) Complect internal circuit & maintain electrical neutrality.
(3) Avoid mixing of two electrolyte solutions and minimize the LTP
*Note
(1) Electrolyte which form ppt not used in Salt bridge.
(e.g with Ag, we do not use KCl)
Ag+1 ,Hg+2,Pb+2 with never use KCl, we use NH4NO3 or KNO3 with KCl
(2) Mobility of ions used in salt bridge must be same.
(3) Ions of cathodic and anodic compartment will not be allowed to pass through salt bridge
