What is the function of salt bridge in a daniell cell?Why KNO3 is used in salt bridge ?
 
Chemistry news on Phys.org
One electrode is the anode half reaction; the other electrode is the cathode half reaction. How do you complete a circuit?

(Maybe before I responded I should have searched for information about Daniel cell).
