In electrolytic cell, a salt bridge is used in order to:
Correct answer: D. Allow movement of ions between two half cells
- A. Pass the electric current
- B. Prevent the flow of ions
- C. Mix solution of two half cells
- D. Allow movement of ions between two half cells
Explanation
A salt bridge keeps the solutions electrically neutral and allows the free flow of ions from one cell to another.

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.
