Which of the following is not a characteristic feature of a salt bridge?(a) Salt bridge joins the two halves of an electrochemical cell(b) It completes the inner circuit(c) It is filled with a salt solution (or gel)(d) It does not maintain electrical neutrality of the electrolytic solutions of the half-cellsI got this question by my college director while I was bunking the class.This is a very interesting question from Electrochemical Cells topic in portion Electrochemistry of Chemistry – Class 12

Answer»

The correct answer is (d) It does not MAINTAIN electrical neutrality of the electrolytic solutions of the half-cells

For explanation I would say: A salt bridge is a junction that connects the anodic and cathodic COMPARTMENTS in a cell or electrolytic SOLUTION. It maintains electrical neutrality within the internal CIRCUIT, preventing the cell from rapidly RUNNING its reaction to equilibrium.
