In electrochemistry, a salt bridge or ion bridge is an essential laboratory device discovered over 100 years ago. [ 1 ] It contains an electrolyte solution, typically an inert solution, used to connect the oxidation and reduction half-cells of a galvanic cell (voltaic cell), a type of electrochemical cell .

5) Reservoir via which the second half-element of the galvanic cell should be attached. The connection can be direct, through a narrow tube to reduce mixing, or through a salt bridge, depending on the other electrode and solution. This creates an ionically conductive path to the working electrode of interest.
An alternative to a salt bridge is to allow direct contact (and mixing) between the two half-cells, for example in simple electrolysis of water. [citation needed] As electrons flow from one half-cell to the other through an external circuit, a difference in charge is established. If no ionic contact were provided, this charge difference would ...
To maintain the salt bridge, His31 will attempt to keep its proton as long as possible. When the salt bridge is disrupted, like in the mutant D70N, the pK a shifts back to a value of 6.9, much closer to that of His31 in the unfolded state. The difference in pK a can be quantified to reflect the salt bridge’s contribution to free energy.
The project was a joint effort between the public and private sectors, under the control of the Hooghly River Bridge Commissioners (HRBC). [3] The importance of the bridge has increased manifold since 2013, as the West Bengal State Secretariat had shifted its office to Nabanna, located adjacent to the bridge on the Howrah side.

The omission of the expansion joint removes a pathway for the penetration of chloride-bearing road salts to the bridge's sub-structure. In the United Kingdom there is a presumption that most new short to medium length bridges will be of the integral type. [citation needed] An early example of an integral bridge is masonry arch bridge.
The salt bridge may be replaced periodically but contamination of the other electrolytes will persist. How is this handles if for example measurements require a the use of a salt bridge over extended periods? It would be nice if somebody could treat such aspects in the article.150.227.15.253 09:26, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
