A saturated solution of \(KNO_3\) is used to make 'salt-bridge' because: 
1. Velocity of \(K^+\) is greater than that of \(NO^-_3\).
2. Velocity of \(NO^-_3\) is greater than that of \(K^+\) .
3. Velocities of both \(K^+\) and \(NO^-_3\) are nearly the same. 
4. \(KNO_3\) is highly soluble in water.
