Concept explainers
Interpretation:
About the most efficient and most effective battery source for the daily activities has to be thought and explained.
Concept Introduction:
Rechargeable battery work because they use reaction are reversible, while non-rechargeable battery they use reactions are non-reversible.
Energy density of battery: High specific energy density batteries are attracting growing attention as possible power sources for electronic vehicles.

Chemistry In Context
- How many batteries you have encountered in your life? What could be the chemistry behind those different types of batteries?arrow_forwardWhat are the renewable sources of energy that can be utilized to generate electricity?arrow_forwardLithium ion batteries are not used for long term storage of energy. Why do you think that is? Choose from the choices below: Because they lose charge over time. Because they take a long time to charge. Because they can only be used for small items, like phones. Because they are not safe to use.arrow_forward
- Identify two nonrenewable and two renewable resources used to generate electricity.arrow_forwardSUBJECT : GENERAL CHEMISTRY TOPIC : THERMAL RUNAWAY 1. Imagine a scenario where a thermal runaway event occurred in a crowded public space. Evaluate the potential hazards and risks, and propose strategies to mitigate them. 2. Evaluate the effectiveness of current safety measures used in the production and disposal of electronic devices with lithium-ion batteries. Suggest alternative measures or improvements that could reduce the risk of thermal runaway. 3. Propose a research question related to thermal runaway in electronic devices. Describe how to conduct this investigation or study this research question. NO TO PLAGIARISMarrow_forwardWhich one of the given renewable energy sources has lowest efficiency? a. Fuel cell b. Wind c.

- What should you do if you spilled a tiny amount of hydrochloric acid on your hand? Describe a possible danger than can occur if you put food, soda, coffee, pencil erasers, etc. in your mouth while conducting your chemistry experiments? What information is given on a Safety Data Sheet? List optimum clothing, shoes, jewelry, and hair arrangement for your chemistry labs. What is the date that your fire extinguisher was last examined? How old are the batteries in your smoke detector? List the contents from your first aid kit that you will use to treat a minor cut. List the contents from your first aid kit that you will use to treat a minor burn.arrow_forwardwhat does electricity do?arrow_forwardSUBJECT : GENERAL CHEMISTRY TOPIC : THERMAL RUNAWAY 1.

- The best solar panels currently available are about 15% efficient in converting sunlight to electricity. A typical home will use about 40. kWh of electricity per day (1 kWh = 1 kilowatt hour; 1kW = 1000 J/s). Assuming 8.0 hours of useful sunlight per day, calculate the minimum solar panel surface area necessary to provide all of a typical homes electricity. (See Exercise 124 for the energy rate supplied by the sun.)arrow_forward9.69 How are the roles of transmission substations and distribution substations in the electrical grid similar? How are they different?arrow_forwardAssume that electricity costs 15 cents per kilowatt- hour. Calculate the monthly cost of operating each of the following: a 100 W light bulb, 5 h/day a 600 W refrigerator, 24 h/day a 12,000 W electric range, 1 h/day a 1000 W toaster, 10 min/dayarrow_forward
