Section 17.1 Zinc-Copper
Cell (p. 843-847)
This tutorial illustrates the reactions that occur at the
electrodes of a typical zinc copper battery, and explores
how the energy released by a voltaic cell is used to do work
on the surroundings. Includes practice exercises.
Section 17.2 Free Energy
(p. 847-850)
Learn how the potential of an electrochemical cell can be
used to determine the free energy available to do work, and
explore the relationships between free energy, cell potential
and equilibrium constant. Includes practice exercises are
included .
Section 17.3 NiCad Battery
(p. 850-856)
This tutorial explores the oxidation-reduction reactions that
power rechargeable Ni-Cd batteries and describes the changes
in reaction quotient as a battery loses its charge or is recharged.
Includes practice exercises.
Section 17.4 Cell Potential
(p. 856-863)
This tutorial explores the concept of cell potential (Ecell)
as a measure of how much electrical energy is stored in an
electrochemical cell. Includes practice exercises.
Section 17.8 Fuel Cell
(p. 878-883)
Learn how fuel cells use a redox reaction between hydrogen
and oxygen to produce electrical energy. Includes practice
exercises.
