In an electrochemical cell, the salt bridge provides: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

In an electrochemical cell, the salt bridge provides:
A. Ionic contact and completes the circuit
B. Current
C. Electron flow
D. Voltage
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
The salt bridge (often KCl-agar) allows ion migration to maintain electrical neutrality in half-cells, completing the circuit. It prevents direct mixing of electrolytes.

Question #1
The atomic number of an element is 11. Its electronic configuration is:
A. 2, 8, 2
B. 2, 8, 7
C. 2, 8, 1
D. 2, 8, 8

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Atomic number 11 is sodium (Na). The electron shells fill as 2 in K, 8 in L, and the remaining 1 in M. Thus configuration is 2,8,1. It belongs to Group 1 (alkali metals) and Period 3. The configuration determines its valency (1) and reactivity.

Question #2
Boiling water removes:
A. Temporary hardness
B. Microorganisms only
C. All dissolved salts
D. Permanent hardness

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Boiling precipitates Ca/Mg bicarbonates as carbonates, removing temporary hardness. It does not remove permanent hardness (sulfates/chlorides). It kills microbes but does not remove dissolved salts.

Question #3
Which of the following is a chemical property of matter?
A. Boiling point
B. Melting point
C. Density
D. Flammability

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Flammability describes how a substance reacts with oxygen to burn, which is a chemical change. Boiling point, density, and melting point are physical properties because they can be observed without changing the chemical identity of the substance. Chemical properties are only observed during a chemical reaction.
