Salt bridge. A salt bridge consists of a saturated solution of NH4NO3 or KCl mixed with gelatin or agar jelly filled in a glass tube bent according to the requirement of the experiment.
Significance:
(i) Salt bridge prevents mixing of two electrolytes.
(ii) Prevents junction potential.
(iii) Maintains electrical neutraility.
The following curve is obtained when molar conductivity λm (y-axis) is plotted against the square root of concentration C1/2 (x-axis) for two electrolytes A and B.
(a) What can you about the nature of the two electrolytes A and B.
(b) How do you account for the increase in molar conductivity λm for the electrolytes A and B on dilution.
