Not wetting the salt bridge with 0.1M KNO3?

Not wetting the salt bridge with a KNO3 solution can lead to poor ionic conductivity between the two half-cells in an electrochemical cell. This can result in slower reaction rates, unstable potential readings, and diminished overall performance of the cell. Wetting the salt bridge is crucial to maintain a stable flow of ions between the half-cells and facilitate efficient electron transfer.
