What does an electrode contain?
An electrode typically contains a conductor, such as metal or carbon, that allows for the flow of electric current. It is usually coated or covered with materials that provide specific properties, such as conducting ions or catalyzing chemical reactions. Electrodes are commonly used in batteries, fuel cells, and various electrochemical processes.
What tissue connects electrochemical impulses?
Nervous tissue contains cells that send and receive electrochemical signals.
What are Electrochemical fuel cells?
Lots of things have an electrochemical cell in them. That electrochemical cell is a battery. You cell phone has at least two of them. There is a small one that "keeps alive" memory if you remove the primary battery. A flashlight has a cell or cells in it. We could go on all day. Motor vehicles have a battery, which is a collection of electrochemical cells. Note that a battery could be composed of a single cell, like the "AAA", "AA", "C" and "D" cells. We call them batteries, but they are a single electrochemical cell. A 9-volt battery, on the other hand, has several cells in it stacked in series so their voltages add. That car battery we mentioned is 6 electrochemical cells "long" so that the voltages will sum to the 12 volts (which is actually a bit over 13 volts).
Where do chemical reactions occur in electrochemical cells?
Chemical reactions occur between the electrolyte and the electrodes in an electrochemical cell.
Does a simple electrochemical cells contain two electrodes?
yes

There are three different types of electrochemical cells?
false, there only two types of electrochemical cells. Wet and dry cells.

What is Function of electrochemical cells in oxidation?
in the cathode
What are series of electrochemical cells?
These are the cells which convert chemical energy into electerical energy
Where do chemical reactions occur in electrochemical cells?
Chemical reactions occur between the electrolyte and the electrodes in an electrochemical cell.
What are the two gases used to produce electricity in fuel cells?
The two gases used to produce electricity in fuel cells are hydrogen (H2) as the fuel and oxygen (O2) as the oxidant. In a fuel cell, hydrogen is fed to the anode (negative electrode) and oxygen is supplied to the cathode (positive electrode), where they react to produce water, heat, and electricity through an electrochemical process called the oxidation-reduction reaction.
Is Several Electrochemical Cells Stacked Together a battery?
false
What is a combination of two or more electrochemical cells in the series?
Battery
Does a simple electrochemical cells contain two electrodes?
yes
How many volts can a lime produce?
The voltage an electrochemical cell produces does not depend on the electrolyte (e.g. type of fruit), it depends on the two electrodes (e.g. metal strips). The voltage is determined by the relative electronegativities of the two electrodes. For example all cells using a copper electrode and a zinc electrode will produce the same voltage, regardless of the kind of electrolyte they are put into. Another example all cells using a carbon electrode and a zinc electrode produce 1.5 volts, regardless of whether the electrolyte is acidic (the original dry cell batteries), basic (modern alkaline batteries), or neutral (a salt).
