Read the Assertion and Reason below and choose the correct option. — Electrochemistry Chemistry Question

💡 Solution & Explanation

Statement I is true because chloride-containing electrolytes will react with Ag^+ ions to form an insoluble precipitate of AgCl at the liquid junction, ruining the cell's operation. Statement II correctly describes the general composition of a salt bridge and is factually true. However, Statement II does not explain the specific precipitation interference that justifies Statement I. Therefore, correct answer is B.
