Answer:

A. maintain electrical neutrality in the half-cells via migration of ions

Explanation:

Salt bridge -

For an electrochemical reaction , involving an anode and a cathode , both the electrodes are connect via a salt bridge to complete the circuit for the reaction .

One of the very important use of a salt bridge is to maintain the electrical neutrality of the respective half cells , which is achieved by the movement of ions .

Hence , from the given options , the correct option is ( a ) .

<h2>a) The rate at which $NO_2$ is formed is 0.066 M/s</h2><h2>b) The rate at which molecular oxygen $O_2$ is reacting is 0.033 M/s</h2>

Explanation:

Rate law says that rate of a reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of the reactants each raised to a stoichiometric coefficient determined experimentally called as order.

$2NO(g)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2NO_2(g)$

The rate in terms of reactants is given as negative as the concentration of reactants is decreasing with time whereas the rate in terms of products is given as positive as the concentration of products is increasing with time.

Rate in terms of disappearance of $NO$ = $-\frac{1d[NO]}{2dt}$ = 0.066 M/s
