• B. Salt bridge is a straight tube
• C. Contains gelatin mixed with $KCl$
• D. It completes the circuit by transfer of ions.

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Salt bridge is a straight tube

Salt bridge is a U-tube filled with a paste made by mixing gelatin or agar agar gel and a salt like $KCl,KN{O}_3$ or $N{H}_{4}Cl$. It completes the circuit by transfer of ions. It maintains the electrical neutrality of the cell.
