Q4 / 150 · MHT CET 2026 (11 April Shift 1) · Chemistry

Identify the function of salt bridge.

  • A
    As cathode
  • B
    As anode
  • Correct answer
    C
    To connect two half cells.
  • D
    To measure electrode potential.

Solution

A salt bridge is a U-shaped tube containing an inert electrolyte in a gel-like substance.

Its primary functions are to complete the electrical circuit by connecting the two half-cells and to maintain the electrical neutrality of the solutions in the two half-cells.

Therefore, its function is to connect two half cells.

Answer: To connect two half cells.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
