A Salt Bridge is used for the purpose of _.
Correct answer: B. Circuit completion
- A. Producing electrons
- B. Circuit completion
- C. Increasing the speed of electrons
- D. All of these options are correct
Explanation
The purpose of the salt bridge is to act as a source of spectator ions that can migrate into each of the half cells to preserve neutrality. Any charge buildup in the solutions of the two half cells is known as a junction potential.Hence,it is used for circuit completion.

About Electrochemistry
Electrochemistry describes electron transfer through oxidation and reduction, identifies oxidizing and reducing agents, and applies oxidation numbers to balance redox equations. It also covers electrode potential and the standard hydrogen electrode, which provides the reference for comparing the reduction tendencies of other electrodes.
