Concept introduction:
Electrochemical cell is a device capable of converting chemical energy into electrical energy or induces chemical energy by electrical energy. In the galvanic cell spontaneous redox reaction takes place. Redox reaction means the reaction in which the oxidation state of the atoms changes due to the occurrence of both reduction and its complementary oxidation reactions. The element under oxidation reaction loses electron whereas the element in the reduction gains electron.
Primary battery: Primary batteries are irreversible transform chemical energy to electrical energy. When the initial supply of reactants is exhausted, energy cannot be readily restored to the battery by electrical means.
Secondary battery: This can be recharged, that is they can have their chemical reaction reversed by supplying electrical energy to the cell restoring their original composition.
(c)
Interpretation:
Household battery recycling programs have not been as effective as those for recycling car batteries and list some reasons should be provided.

Chemistry In Context
- Please don't copy You are testing a sealed Ni-Cd battery with high C-rate current. When the battery approaches full charge there appears to be an increase in the temperature of the battery and gas leak starts. What is the likely gas leaking from the battery? Type in your answer in words.arrow_forwardQuestion Identify the options below that are not true of secondary batteries. Select all that apply: NiCd batteries deliver much more current than a similar-sized alkaline battery. When properly treated, a NiCd battery can be recharged about 100, 000 times. Lithium ion batteries are the heaviest types of secondary batteries. Automobiles use NiCd batteries.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements are true for a battery? Select all that apply. A.OA primary battery cannot be recharged and secondary batteries are rechargeable. B. The battery is dead when the reaction quotient, Q, equals the equilibrium constant, K. C.OThe battery is dead when E cell = 0. D.OWhen the battery reaction is at equilibrium, the battery produces a voltage. E.O When the size of a battery is doubled, the voltage of the battery is doubled.arrow_forward
- Some characteristics of fuel cells used in generating electricity are given. Classify each characteristic as an advantage or a disadvantage over other sources of electricity. Advantage Disadvantage Answer Bank major product is water energy released per gram of fuel Hydrogen fuel is explosive. Hydrogen fuel is a gas rather than a liquid. Cells are refueled rather than recharged. availability of hydrogen generation of electricity on site rather than by transmission linesarrow_forwardIt says on the photo to list all the types of batteries that we're using at home. So I've put these five things and googled each voltage, which became my answer on the second/middle column. The minimum of batteries is three only that is why I've put 1 thing that uses lithium-ion battery, 1 thing that uses alkaline battery, and 3 things that uses dry cell. Now, what I can't understand is WHAT WOULD I PUT ON THE ELECTROCHEMICAL REACTION?? (what should I put/answer on the last column?) I can't understand!!!arrow_forwardO ELECTROCHEMISTRY = Using the Faraday constant 3/5 Suppose a current of 60. A flows through a copper wire for 35.0 minutes. Calculate how many moles of electrons travel through the wire. Be sure your answer has the correct unit symbol and round your answer to 2 significant digits. 0 μ Explanation Check 333 0 x10 DO X 00 S 5 ? Arvind V DEE do Ararrow_forward
- Which statements about primary batteries are correct? Select all that apply: "C" and "D" batteries have the same voltage. Batteries can be left in a device for extended periods of time. Primary batteries are not rechargeable. All primary batteries contain the same redox reactions.arrow_forwardLab observation: I have a question about reduction and oxidation: a color change will be oxidized or reduced ? gas evolved or bubbles will be oxidized or reduces?arrow_forwardShort Answer Make your own galvanic cell. Choose a pair of electrodes (anode & cathode) from the table of standard reduction potential and compute the cell potential and delta G of your galvanic cell. Is this spontaneous? Why?arrow_forward
