Interpretation:
The usage of
Concept Introduction:
Rechargeable battery work because they use reaction are reversible, while non-rechargeable battery they use reactions are non-reversible.
Energy density of battery: High specific energy density batteries are attracting growing attention as possible power sources for electronic vehicles.

Chemistry In Context
- Identify each statement as true or false. Rewrite each false statement to make it true. (a) Oxidation always occurs at the anode of an electrochemical cell. (b) The anode of a discharging voltaic cell is the site ofreduction and is negative. (c) Standard-state conditions for electrochemical cells are aconcentration of 1.0 M for dissolved species and a pressure of 1 bar for gases. (d) The potential of a voltaic cell does not change withtemperature. (e) All product-favored oxidation-reduction reactions have astandard cell potential Ecell, with a negative sign.arrow_forwardAn aqueous solution of an unknown salt of gold is electrolyzed by a current of 2.75 amps for 3.39 hours. The electroplating is carried out with an efficiency of 93.0%, resulting in a deposit of 21.221 g of gold. a How many faradays are required to deposit the gold? b What is the charge on the gold ions (based on your calculations)?arrow_forwardGive a thermodynamic argument for why it is more efficient to generate electricity from methane oxidation in a fuel cell rather than from methane oxidation in a conventional combustion power plant.arrow_forward
