Salt Bridge

[Emma Scholes 1L]

What is the purpose of the salt bridge?

[Dayna Pham 1I]

The purpose of a salt bridge is to maintain a change balance, since electrons are moving from one side to another. Without the salt bridge, electron transfer from one "reaction beaker" to another will stop due to charge buildup. Adding a salt bridge (or a porous disk) will help the solution stay electrically neutral.

Is the salt bridge the same thing as a porous disk?

[Nicolette_Canlian_2L]

I believe they have the same function, but the shapes of them are what differ.

[Anusha 1H]

Usually questions specify whether a salt bridge or porous disk is being used, so i dont think we have to worry about it.
They basically do the same thing
