A saturated solution of \(\mathrm{KNO}_3\) with agar-agar is used to make a 'salt-bridge' because

  1. A size of \(\mathrm{K}^{+}\)is greater than that of \(\mathrm{NO}_3^{-}\)
  2. B velocity of \(\mathrm{NO}_3^{-}\)is greater than that of \(\mathrm{K}^{+}\)
  3. C velocities of \(\mathrm{K}^{+}\)and \(\mathrm{NO}_3^{-}\)are nearly the same
  4. D Both velocities and sizes of \(\mathrm{K}^{+}\)and \(\mathrm{NO}_3^{-}\)are nearly the same
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) velocities of \(\mathrm{K}^{+}\)and \(\mathrm{NO}_3^{-}\)are nearly the same

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{KNO}_3\) is used in salt bridge because velocity of \(\mathrm{K}^{+}\)and \(\mathrm{NO}_3^{-}\)ions is same due to which ions do not accumulate.
