It's a setup for lab and I'm not sure if it'll work

OpenStudy (chmvijay):

not necessarily salt bridge should contain the same anions as that of the solution used for the electrochemical cell but the mobility of the cations and anions should be almost similar of ur chosen salt for the salt bridge :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry I'm kind of confused by your wording of the explanation So the two solutions should have the same anions and the salt bridge can be the same anions as the solutions but its better to use a different one?

OpenStudy (chmvijay):

yaaa ur right :)

OpenStudy (chmvijay):

do you know why do u use salt bridge ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

to allow ions to flow and maintain charge?

OpenStudy (chmvijay):

yaaa to decrease the junction potential formed between the electrode and the solution : the salt bridge should contain the cations and anions which should have the similar mobility

student and thanks!

OpenStudy (chmvijay):

ur welcome :)

read Advanced chemistry by Philip Mathew book for real electrochemistry and chemistry fundamentals :)

haha i dont think I have time for that but thanks for the suggestion
