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.

Will the permanganate ion, \(\text{MnO}_{4}^{-}\) , liberate \(\text{O}_{2}\) from water in the presence of an acid?

1. No, because \(\text{E}_{\text {cell }}^{\circ}=-2.733 \text{ V}\)
2. Yes, because \(\text{E}_{\text {cell }}^{\circ}=+0.287 \text{ V}\)
3. No, because \(\text{E}_{\text {cell }}^{\circ}=-0.287 \text{ V}\)
