Vedclass · Answer

(A) The salt bridge is used to maintain electrical neutrality in the two half-cells and to complete the electrical circuit.It does not participate in the chemical reaction occurring at the electrodes.It allows the flow of ions to maintain charge balance but does not completely stop the diffusion of ions.It is not strictly necessary for the occurrence of a cell reaction,as some cell designs (like certain types of batteries) function without a salt bridge by using porous membranes or other methods to keep electrolytes separate.
