C5 - Fuel CELLS AND rechargeable Batteries nathan marshak
2
Instead of recharging, you add fuel Lower environmental impact Expensive. FUEL CELLS Secondary cells are rechargeable. Store small amounts of energy Cheap. BATTERIES C.5.3 - DESCRIBE HOW A HYDROGEN-OXYGEN FUEL CELL WORKS
3
C.5.1 - DESCRIBE HOW A HYDROGEN-OXYGEN FUEL CELL WORKS REACTION FOR ACIDIC ELECTROLYTE (e.g. Phosphoric Acid) Positive: 2O 2 + 4e - + 4H + --> 4H 2 O Negative: 4H 2 --> 4H + + 4e - Overall: 2H 2 + O 2 --> 2H 2 O
4
C.5.1 - DESCRIBE HOW A HYDROGEN-OXYGEN FUEL CELL WORKS REACTION FOR BASIC ELECTROLYTE (e.g. NaOH) Positive: H 2 + 2OH - --> 2H 2 O + 2e - Negative: O 2 + 2H 2 O + 4e - --> 4OH - Overall: 2H 2 + O 2 --> 2H 2 O

Nickel-Cadmium Battery C.5.2 - DESCRIBE THE WORKINGS OF RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES
6
Nickel-Cadmium Battery C.5.2 - DESCRIBE THE WORKINGS OF RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES REACTION AT NEGATIVE ELECTRODE (CADMIUM) REACTION AT POSITIVE ELECTRODE (NICKEL) OVERALL REACTION
7
C.5.2 - DESCRIBE THE WORKINGS OF RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES Used in cars to start it. Battery charges while car is running. Amount of charge left can be measured Heavy Lead Acid Battery
