Storage cells, fuel cells and redox titrations

  • 3 things to know
  • Papers 1 and 3

Overview

Storage and fuel cells, the hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell electrode reactions with acidic and alkaline electrolytes, the lead–acid cell's emf, discharge and recharging, lithium cells, and manganate(VII) and iodine-thiosulfate titrations with their equations, end points and calculations.

Questions from this subtopic

Each one with the model answer underneath.

  1. 1

    What is a storage cell?

    Model answer

    A cell that can be recharged and reused, such as a rechargeable battery.

  2. 2

    How does a fuel cell generate a voltage?

    Model answer

    The energy released when a fuel reacts with oxygen is used to produce a voltage.

  3. 3

    Name a hydrogen-rich fuel used in fuel cells besides hydrogen.

    Model answer

    Methanol.

  4. 4

    Write the electrode reaction at the negative electrode of a hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell with an acidic electrolyte.

    Model answer

    H₂ → 2H⁺ + 2e⁻.

  5. 5

    Write the electrode reaction at the positive electrode of a hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell with an acidic electrolyte.

    Model answer

    O₂ + 4H⁺ + 4e⁻ → 2H₂O.

  6. 6

    Write the electrode reaction at the negative electrode of a hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell with an alkaline electrolyte.

    Model answer

    H₂ + 2OH⁻ → 2H₂O + 2e⁻.
