Making a Potato Powered Light Bulb Materials: A large potato Two pennies Two zinc-plated nails or screws Three pieces of copper wire A very small light bulb or LED light 1) Get a potato and cut it in half. Then make a small slit in each half just big enough to put a penny into. 2) Cut two pieces of copper wire and wrap one around one of the pennies a few times‚ and wrap the other one around the other penny a few times as well. 3) Take a third piece of copper

Aim: To compare the reactivity of various metals by observing their reaction with hydrochloric acid. Materials: 2 M hydrochloric acid Detergent Test tubes and test tube rack 0.5 pieces of magnesium‚ aluminium‚ iron‚ zinc and cooper Sand paper Ruler Timer Bench mat Method: 1. The surface of the magnesium was cleaned with a piece of sandpaper 2. The Magnesium was placed into a test tube 3. Three Drops of detergent were added to the test tube 4. 2cm of hydrochloric acid was added

Commercial Cells Galvanic Cell A Galvanic cell is also known as a Voltaic cell. It was named after Luigi Galvani and Alessandro Volta. A galvanic cell is capable of producing an electric current from a redox reaction that occurs within it and consists of two half cells. Each half cell consists of an electrode and electrolyte and a salt bridge. In a galvanic cell one metal can undergo reduction and the other oxidation. A typical galvanic cell is based on the spontaneous redox reaction: Net Ionic

INTRODUCTION In 1791 Luigi Galvani discovered electrical activity in the nerves of the frogs that he was dissecting. He thought that electricity was of animal origin and could be found only in living tissues. A few years later‚ in 1800 Alessandro Volta discovered that electricity could be produced through inorganic means. In fact‚ by using small sheets of copper and zinc and cloth spacers soaked in an acid solution‚ he built a battery - the first apparatus capable of producing electricity. Naysayers

74. b) Select one example of a physical change from your table‚ and explain why it has a physical change. Step number one where “A coarse screen made of metal bars filters large particles and trash‚ such as bottles and cans.” This would be considered a physical change because there is no chemical process taking place. As well you are able to see a physical change in the water due to trash and debris being filtered out by nothing more then a screen. This screen is doing nothing more other then

If the electrolyte solution is highly concentrated‚ then the amperage productions will also increase and vice versa. In a galvanic cell‚ the amperage is generated from flows of electrons between the two metals in the metal sulfate solution of the electrolyte. In order for a chemical reaction to take place‚ the reactants must collide. The collision between the molecules in a chemical reaction provides the kinetic energy needed to break the necessary bonds so that new bonds can be formed. Thus‚ increasing

1. Citric Acid * Citric acid is a weak organic acid with the molecular formula C6H8O7‚ which means a molecule of the acid contains six carbon atoms‚ eight hydrogen atoms‚ and seven oxygen atoms. When it is dissolved in water‚ it partially ionizes to yield three H+ ions (hydrogen atoms which are missing their electron) and a C6H5O7(3-) ion (the 3- means that it has three extra electrons.) The resulting solution is called an "electrolyte." Chemical Reaction When two dissimilar metals are put

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
