Practical Batteries, Electrolysis

Primary batteries: dry cell; alkaline battery; fuel cell
Secondary batteries: lead-acid, Nicad; lithium ion
Electrolysis: breaking down compounds by electric current
Examples of electrolysis: Na and Cl₂ from fused NaCl; NaOH and Cl₂ from salt solution; copper refining; metal plating
Faraday = 96,500 coulombs = 96,500 As
Do examples of quantitative use of Faraday’s Laws e.g. Al production
Corrosion of iron is an electrolytic process: needs both H₂O and O₂
Can protect iron by coatings and sacrificial Zn electrodes
