    was placed close to the ear of the hearing-deficient listener. Effective, yet not exactly attractive to look at… Finally, in 1901, the first electric hearing aids were designed. Consisting of a carbon microphone, a processing unit, a battery box, and a headpiece, this hearing aid served merely as a personalized microphone/amplifier. It was bulky, heavy, and expensive to buy (at about $400.00 each), but it worked! Thus, its successors followed the same model, but the goal became a matter

    that are brought to us by the discoveries and advances in chemistry. Many of these things we take for granted, and don 't even bother to question how it got there, why it is there, and how it works. Chemistry makes up everything in our lives, from the air that we breathe, to the plastic on the keyboard I 'm typing on now, and a in depth study of some of the wonderful things chemistry has do for the modern day world, will help us to appreciate everything we have a great deal more. For as long as we

    Cathode : ½ O2+H2O+2e → 2OH- Overall: Zn+½O2 → ZnO Zinc/air battery not only provides a high energy density, but also has many advantages. Based on the electrochemical principle, it is clear that it produces electrochemical energy by using oxygen, which can be directly obtained from the atmosphere rather than from the system itself, which makes the miniaturization of micro-battery possible. The oxygen diffuses into the cathode during discharge and reacts with the electrolyte

    Zinc Zinc, number 30 on the periodic table and a bluish-white metallic element, exists naturally in air, water and soil. It is present everywhere in the environment. All life on earth has evolved in the presence of zinc. Natural processes such as erosion, forest fires, aerosol formation above the seas and volcanic eruptions continuously transport Zinc. Zinc melts at about 420° C and boils at about 907° C. Zinc is efficient for plants. Zinc-deficient soils present in many parts of the world

    Zinc brings a large number of financial and social advantages to society. This metal can be found daily in rock, soil, air, and water since all life on earth is evolved around the presence of zinc. One of zinc's most astounding qualities is its capacity to secure steel against consumption. Consumption is a deplete on the economy, evaluated to cost no less than 4% of GDP in industrialized nations. The life and solidness of steel is extraordinarily enhanced when covered with zinc. No other material

    Why i chose zinc is because it seemed interesting to me in the things it was used for. Zinc was discovered by Andreas Marggraf in 1746 in germany and came from the german word zink. Zinc was recognized as a district element centuries before zinc ores were used for making brass which is a mixture of copper and zinc. A brass dating from between 1400-1000 BC has been found in palestine an alloy containing 87% zinc it was found in prehistoric ruins in transylvania.\ Copper was discovered apparently

    Introduction- Batteries/Fuel Cells Fuel cells operate via a chemical reaction which generates electricity. All fuel cells contain a positive anode, a negative cathode and an electrolyte to carry the charged particles through the cell. They also contain a catalyst which will increase the rate of the reaction occurring. The electricity produced can then used to power various appliances. This, in turn, creates a circuit with the current continually flowing in and out of the cell until the reaction
