[edit] How does it work?

I just don't understand how the salt bridge connects the solutions of the two recipients while keeping them separate... Wouldn'osmosis just end up mixing all ions together? Ricardo Dirani 09:09, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

In osmosis, the solute can't pass through the membrane. Were you thinking of diffusion? I think the ions eventually diffuse through the salt bridge, but that takes a long time and the point is to temporarily keep them from mixing. —Keenan Pepper 05:00, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
