chem battery

Describe a voltaic cell

wire, salt bridge, oxidation, reduction, (e-) ----> , anode (-), cathode (+)

Describe an electrolytic cell

wire, battery, oxidation, reduction, membrane, anode (+), cathode (-)

Describe a voltaic cell

wire, salt bridge, oxidation, reduction, (e-) ----> , anode (-), cathode (+)

Describe an electrolytic cell

wire, battery, oxidation, reduction, membrane, anode (+), cathode (-)

what is the primary purpose of electrolytic cells?

to force spontaneous reactions to occur/ break compounds into elements w/ electricity

what is the primary purpose of voltaic cells?

produce electricity

difference between electrolytic and voltaic

electrolytic cells need a battery, voltaic dont

purpose of salt bridge in voltaic cell

over time anode becomes (+) and cathode becomes (

cell potential equation

cathode

What does it mean if the cell potential between anode and cathode is positive? What type of cell would be required to facilitate that reaction?

If answer is positive, battery works and reaction is spontaneous. You would need a voltaic cell

3. What does it mean if the cell potential between anode and cathode is negative? What type of cell would be required to facilitate that reaction?

If answer is negative, not a battery and nonspontaneous. electrolytic cell is required

practice cell potential on sheet

.

which would not be a battery (cell potential)

all the negative answers

which would be the better battery when given two positives

the bigger number

normally, you would need two metals to make a battery, however this is not the case for lead. Why?

there is two of them

why cant you make a pure lithium battery?

there is only one
