Name: Serene Tan Subject: Chemistry SL Date: 5th December 2012 Title: The effect of concentration of electrolyte on the 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

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

Analyzing electrolytes I. Introduction Ionic substances form when a metal reacts with a non-metal. They contain charged particles called ions. Those ionic substances are broken down by electrolysis. Electrolysis is the breakdown of a substance by electricity‚ and it only happens in liquids. The liquids that can be electrolyzed are called electrolytes. When said electrolyzed‚ means that the compounds in solutions are broken down when they conduct electricity. Its necessary the use of electrodes

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

Investigating in the effect of ion concentration in electrolytes on the potential difference in a voltaic cell Introduction When two electrodes made of different metals are connected together in a voltaic cell‚ the chemical energy present is converted into electrical energy and an electromotive force is generated. This force‚ called the electrode potential‚ is normally measured under standard conditions‚ which is 298K‚ 1 mol dm-3 solution for the electrolyte. However when one measures the electrode

nerve cell maintains a difference in charge between the inside and the outside of the cell membrane. This difference in charge is continued by three factors. Firstly‚ in the cell membrane‚ there are sodium potassium ‘pumps’ crossing the membrane which are proteins that bring 2 potassium ions into the cell‚ for every 3 sodium ions it pumps out. As well as this‚ there are protein channels which allow potassium ions in the cell to flow out via facilitated diffusion. Potassium diffuses out the cell much

The blood plasma is consists of electrolytes. It comprise of both negative and positive charge. The negative charge is made up of chloride‚ bicarbonate and phosphates. The positive charge is made up of calcium‚ sodium‚ potassium and magnesium. This specifies the condition of the body’s acid-base ratio‚ water balance‚ endocrine and renal systems. These indicate the condition of your body’s acid-base ratio‚ endocrine and renal systems‚ water balance and other conditions. There is a fine line between

Effects of Sucrose Concentration On Cell Respiration In Yeast Abstract This lab investigates the effects of Sucrose concentration on cell respiration in yeast. Yeast produces ethyl alcohol and CO2 as a byproduct of anaerobic cellular respiration‚ so we measured the rate of cellular respiration by the amount of CO2 produced per minute. The results show a trend wherein increased concentrations of sucrose increase the rate of cellular respiration. Introduction All living cells require energy
