Salt bridge

Explanation:

Salt bridge is used in an electrolytic cell to transfer electrons from the anode to the cathode.

Salt bridge are used because they do not interfere with the constituents of the cell I. e the anode (+very electrode) and cathode (-ve electrode).

Examples of salt bridges are AgNO₃, KCl etc.

Salt bridge can be described as a tool used to link the oxidation half cell and reduction half cell in an electrolytic set-up or galvanic cell.
