**10. Consider the battery below containing 1M CuSO₄ and 1M ZnSO₄ which is capable of delivering a voltage of 1.104 V. You need this voltage to operate your device. Eventually, the battery will stop functioning as the voltage will drop to near zero. What can you do to extend the lifetime of the battery?**

**Diagram Explanation:**

The diagram shows a galvanic cell setup:

- **Copper (cathode)**: The left side contains a copper electrode submerged in a CuSO₄ solution.
- **Zinc (anode)**: The right side contains a zinc electrode submerged in a ZnSO₄ solution.
- **Salt bridge**: Positioned between the two solutions, it allows the flow of ions without mixing the solutions directly.
- **Voltmeter**: Connected across the electrodes to measure the voltage.

This setup illustrates the basic operation of a galvanic cell, where chemical energy is converted into electrical energy.

Expert Solution
Step 1: step 1 of 2

9. To solve this problem, we can use the following equation:

ηd=RT/(nF)ln[1(j/jlim)]

where:

  • η_d is the diffusion overvoltage
  • R is the universal gas constant
  • T is the temperature in Kelvin
  • n is the number of electrons transferred in the electrochemical reaction
  • F is Faraday's constant
  • j is the current density
  • j_lim is the limiting current density
