What is the liquid junction potential
Accepted Answer
The liquid junction potential is the electrical potential difference that arises between two solutions of different concentrations when they are in contact. It is caused by the tendency of ions to diffuse from the more concentrated solution to the less concentrated one, creating an electrical gradient. The liquid junction potential can be minimized by using a salt bridge, which is a u-shaped tube filled with a concentrated electrolyte solution that connects the two solutions.
