Hsc Chemistry First Hand Investigation
HSC Chemistry
Assessment Task 1
Production of Materials
Task Type:
First Hand Investigation
Weighting
20%
Due Date:
Friday 22nd November during your normal chemistry period.
Task Type:
Hand in + First Hand Investigation
Assessment Task Context
The first battery or voltaic cell (later named a galvanic cell) was made by Alessandro Volta, his discoveries led to the first working batteries. Over time the chemistry and construction of a battery has been refined, and society has become more reliant on these efficient portable sources of electrical energy. With the positive benefits of batteries come many environmental problems. The role of chemists play an important role in not only refining the chemistry of current …show more content…
This section is to be handed in complete on the day your assessment task is due.
Syllabus Content Being Covered
The below syllabus dot points is the content knowledge that will assist you in completing this assessment task: describe and explain galvanic cells in terms of oxidation/reduction reactions outline the construction of galvanic cells and trace the direction of electron flow define the terms anode, cathode, electrode and electrolyte to describe galvanic cells perform a first-hand investigation to identify the conditions under which a galvanic cell is produced perform a first-hand investigation and gather first-hand information to measure the difference in potential of different combinations of metals in an electrolyte solution solve problems and analyse information to calculate the potential requirement of named electrochemical processes using tables of standard potentials and half-equations
