series. Each one of the six cells contains a cathode of lead (IV) oxide and an anode of lead. A sulfuric acid solution that is highly acidic (pH as low as 0) provides the solution for each electrode to be immersed in. (Lead-acid batteries, no date) An example of a lead acid battery: (Gravitatechnomech, 2015) The electrode reactions are: Anode: Pb(s) + H2SO4(aq) → PbSO4(aq) + 2H+ (aq) + 2e- Lead + Sulfuric Acid → Lead Sulfate + Hydrogen + 2 electrons Cathode: PbO2(s) + H2SO4(aq) + 2H+ (aq) + 2e- →

and the power supply is turned on. Simultaneously, the stopclock is started. The thermometer is checked every 30s. 13. After 300s the stopclock is stopped and the power supply is turned off. The negative cathode is carefully removed and is dried using a hair dryer. 14. When dry the negative cathode is placed on the electronic milligram balance and its final mass is recorded. 15. The positive anode and negative anode of the experimental apparatus are disposed and the electrolyte is poured out to ensure

consists of one anion exchange membrane (AEM) tube inside the cation exchange membrane (CEM) tube. Two ways of parallel connections of the MDC were investigated. One way was via combined connection whereby all the anodes or cathodes are connected to form one anode or cathode (total 1

Did you know over a million dollars go to waste from buying a ton of batteries that barely work. For my science fair project I am going to test the 4 most popular brands of batteries in America, Duracell, Energizer, Rayovac, and a Alkaline battery named Enercell

䀀䀀tricity is one of the most widely used forms of energy. Electricity is referred to as an energy carrier, which means the electricity comes from the conversion of other sources of energy. Energy sources used to make electricity are either renewable or non-renewable, but electricity itself is neither renewable nor nonrenewable. Electricity is measured in watts and kilowatts. One watt is a very small amount of power, for example, it would require nearly 750 watts to equal one horsepower. One way

How fuel cells work A fuel cell is a device that produces an electrical current through a chemical reaction. All fuel cells contain a cathode and an anode, which are positive and negative electrodes, respectively. The chemical reactions which produce electricity occur at the electrodes. Fuel cells also contain an electrolyte, which carries electrically charged particles between the electrodes. A catalyst also aids to speed up the chemical reaction at the electrodes. In fuel cells, an impurity must

Since the mine extracts copper only, the “Copper ions leave the anode and are attracted to the cathode, where they are deposited as copper atoms. The pure copper cathode increases greatly in size, while the anode dwindles away. The impurities left behind at the anode form a sludge beneath it.” according to the BBC. With the negative electrode, the formula of how the copper would be

conduction” (“Definition”). The electrodes will be placed into a beaker of sulfuric acid. By using the copper strip as the anode and the zinc strip as the cathode, the experimenter will make the cell electrolytic in order to oxidize a copper electrode. “The anode of a device is the terminal where current flows in from outside” and “the cathode of a device is the terminal where current flows out” (Denker). By measuring the amount of copper that was deposited in the electroplating process, the experimenter

the pacing system. It produces electricity as a result of a chemical reaction. In its simplest form a battery consists of an anode, electrolyte, separator and cathode. Pacemaker batteries are composed of Lithium Iodine. Lithium acts as an anode and provides electrons and the Iodine acts as a cathode, receiving electrons. The anode and cathode are separated by electrolytes which serves as a conductor of ionic movement but as a barrier to electron transfers (Butler, n.d). The battery voltage depends

The Sinus node is a small bundle of specialised cells located in the right atrium of the which generates an impulse in the heart. The electrical activity spreads through the walls of the atria and causes them to contract. This forces blood into the ventricles, which sets the rate and rhythm of the heartbeat. A pacemaker is needed to maintain an adequate heart rate, either because the heart’s natural pacemaker – sinus node – is not fast enough or there is a block in the heart’s conduction system.
