Lab design –Voltaic Cells Aim Of Experiment In this experiment‚ we are going to make a battery by making an electron current between the metals Zinc and Copper. We aim two study the voltaic cells and the transfer of electrons from the metal to the ion. The tendency for the electrons to flow from one chemical to another‚ such as from the zinc metal to the copper ion as shown here‚ is something that can be channeled and controlled. Channeling the flow of electrons is what we will take up in this

potential difference in voltaic cell. Aim: To investigate the effect of concentration of electrolyte of the potential difference in voltaic cell. Introduction: Chemical reactions involving the transfer of electrons from one reactant to another are called oxidation-reduction reactions or redox reactions. In a redox reaction‚ two half-reactions occur; one reactant gives up electrons (undergoes oxidation) and another reactant gains electrons (undergoes reduction). Voltaic cell is a device in which

Michael Blaber Electrochemistry Commercial Voltaic Cells Voltaic cells provide a convenient‚ safe and portable supply of electrical energy. The Industrial Revolution marked the development of heat engines‚ and other devices‚ that utilized the energy released from combustion reactions in the form of heat The Digital Age (Electronic Revolution?) revolves around devices that require energy in the form of electrical energy. Such devices require voltaic cells and redox chemistry (as opposed to gasoline

Determination of an Electrochemical Series In electrochemistry‚ a voltaic cell is a specially prepared system in which an oxidation-reduction reaction occurs spontaneously. This spontaneous reaction produces an easily measured electrical potential which has a positive value. Voltaic cells have a variety of uses and you commonly refer to them as a “battery”. Half-cells are normally produced by placing a piece of metal into a solution containing a cation of the metal (e.g.‚ Cu metal in a solution

DESIGN LAB Factors Affecting the Solubility of a Solid in a Liquid In this experiment‚ my goal is to determine the affect of temperature in the solubility of a solid in a liquid. Research Question: How does the change in the temperature affects the solubility of a solid in a liquid? Independent variables: Temperature of the Solution Dependent variables: The solubility of the solid substance Controlled Variables: * The pressure of the room. * The mass of zinc chloride

Rate of reaction Design Lab Background: Reaction rate is most commonly defined as the speed at which a reaction takes place. This rate can be altered by many factors such as temperature‚ pressure‚ concentration‚ volume‚ or the use of a catalyst. In order for a reaction to occur‚ the atoms must collide in the correct orientation to break the bonds and must also have more energy than the needed activation energy. If their energy is not high enough‚ the reaction will not be able to take place. By

Calculators run on solar power‚ why can’t we use this technology to help our cell phones perform Generate new ideas: Solar Power/battery power cell phone Think of Ways that your product will be Unique: It can be charged without an outlet if it is in reach of the sun’s rays. It would be the first of its kind. There will also be a battery just in case there is no sunlight. But the battery can

Cell Transportation Lab Eggs are a great example of a cell. Underneath the hard shell is a thin membrane that is just like the cell membranes in your cells. There are microscopic pores in the membrane that allow substances to move in and out of the cell. Way Cool! Recall that the function of the cell membrane is to control the internal balance of the cell. It helps to maintain homeostasis. In this lab you will use vinegar‚ an acid‚ to dissolve the shell off of the egg to expose the membrane

Introduction Using microscopes allows humans to see things they’ve otherwise would have never seen before‚ like cells. A cell is the basic unit of life. All living things are made of cells. All cells come from preexisting cells through a process called cellular division. There are two types of cells‚ eukaryotes and prokaryotes. Prokaryotes are very simple and small. They are unicellular and have no membrane bound organelles. Their DNA is found directly in the cytoplasm since they have no nucleus
