In an electrochemical process, a salt bridge is used
The reaction $\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{H}_2(\mathrm{~g})+\mathrm{Ag}(\mathrm{Cl})(\mathrm{s}) \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{H}^{+}(\mathrm{aq})+\mathrm{Cl}^{-}(\mathrm{aq})+\mathrm{Ag}(\mathrm{s})$ occurs in which of the given galvanic cell.
It maintains electrical neutrality in two compartments by allowing movement of anions towards anodic compartment and cations towards cathodic compartment.
Function of a Salt Bridge
NOTE: If salt bridge is removed the emf of the cell drops to zero.
$\begin{gathered}\mathrm{Zn}(\mathrm{s})\left|\mathrm{ZnSO}_4(\mathrm{aq})\right|\left|\mathrm{CuSO}_4(\mathrm{aq})\right| \mathrm{Cu}(\mathrm{s}) \\ \text { Saltbridge }\end{gathered}$
