either would be fine because they both have the same valency and similar reactivity in their ions

What is salt bridge and give its function in a galvanic cell?

Salt bridge is a U-shaped tube contains a gel permeated with a solution of an inert electrolyte such as Na2SO4. The ions of the inert electrolyte do not react with the other ions in the solutions and they are not oxidised or reduced at the electrodes. The salt bridge is necessary to complete the electrical circuit and to maintain the electrical neutrality in both compartments (by flow of ions).


What kind of electrolyte should be used in a salt bridge?

something inert: potassium chloride, sodium chloride


Is N2 a strong electrolyte?

no, nitrogen is not an electrolyte. it does not disolve in water (polar solvent).


What are inert metals?

I did not know it either but inert means it cannot react, so my best guess is that and inert electrode is one that will not react with the ons in the electrolyte. So it wont react with oxygen and form CO2. We would not have to replace it.


What salt bridge is used in a copper zinc electrochemical cell?

In a copper-zinc electrochemical cell, a salt bridge typically consists of an inert electrolyte solution, such as potassium chloride (KCl) or potassium nitrate (KNO3), which allows ions to flow between the half-cells to maintain charge balance. This salt bridge helps prevent the buildup of excessive charge gradients and allows the electrochemical reactions to proceed smoothly.


Is argon a electrolyte?

No. An electrolyte is a substance in an aqueous solution that conducts electricity due to the presence of ions. Since Argon by itself is an atom and does not have any ions, it's not an electrolyte. It does not dissociate, or break apart into ions, in a solution so it cannot conduct electricity.A general rule: electrolytes are usually strong acids and bases and salts.


What does a salt bridge do?

It prevents charges from building up in the solutions.


What is the difference between inert and other than inert gas?

Inert means they don't react. Group 18, the noble gases, are inert.


What is another word for chemically nonreactive?

inert as in the inert gases or "noble" gases


Why do you think it is advantageous to use inert electrodes in the electrolysis processes?

If the electrodes are not inert, then they are going to become part of the chemical reaction, rather than just being conduits for electricity, and if they become part of the chemical reaction, they are going to get used up, and you will wind up with no electrodes.


What is the term for not chemically active?

The term is "inert." Inert substances do not react chemically with other substances.


What is a sentence using the word inert?

The inert gas had no effect on the experiment. The bomb was inert and failed to explode.
