Lesson 2

Module 4—Batteries and Balance

Lesson Summary

 

In Lesson 2 you considered the following question:

  • How do you determine the cell potential for a voltaic cell?

You learned how to determine cell potential for a voltaic cell using the electrical potentials that correspond with the half-reactions listed in the “Table of Selected Standard Electrode Potentials.” You completed an investigation to verify the predictions made for voltaic cells you constructed. You also investigated different types of consumer cells. You looked at the purpose of each type of cell and at concerns about their chemical components and proper disposal.
