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

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

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

The Effect of Salt Concentration on Osmosis in Potato Cells We should first explain what Osmosis is. It’s a passage of water from a region of high water concentration through membrane to a region of low water. Semi membrane is a very thin layer of material‚ which allows some things to pass through them but prevent other things from passing through. The cells allow small molecules like Oxygen‚ water‚ Carbon Dioxide‚ Ammonia. But will not allow larger molecules like Sucrose‚ Starch‚ or protein‚ etc

EXPERIMENT Ion - an electrically charged atom or group of atoms formed by the loss or gain of one or more electrons. Ionization - The condition of being dissociated into ions by heat‚ electrical discharge‚ radiation‚ or chemical reaction. Electrolyte - A chemical compound that ionizes when dissolved or molten to produce an electrically conductive medium. Dissociation - When an ionic compound breaks up into its ions. The experiment started by placing the rods of the light bulb device into

plant Cells(potato and celery)by percentage change in weight Using different sucrose concentrations Introduction The purpose of this experiment was to estimate Osmolality of plants cells i.e. Potato and celery by converting the observed change of weight in different sucrose concentrations. The hypothesis assumes that the solute concentration of the plant samples would be indirectly proportional to the weight; there would be decrease in weight as the concentration increases
