There are many chemical combinations that can be used to make batteries. The trick is to use a combination of chemicals in which the chemicals themselves do not have to be adjacent. One half of the battery involves an oxidation reaction. This releases electrons that flow out thru the wiring. The other half of the battery involves reduction, a reaction in which the excess electrons returning to the battery are used to form a new ionic substance. When not connected thru external wiring the reaction slows, almost stops, that is when the battery has potential energy, the potential to release the electrons and do work.

Which energy change occurs in an operating voltaic cell?
Chemical energy is spontaneously converted to electrical energy.
What are some devices that convert energy from electrical to other forms of energy?
Electric lights (light/heat), electric motors (mechanical energy), heaters (heat), batteries under charge (chemical energy).
Whats inside a battery?
Inside a battery, stored chemical energy is released as electric energy which can then power devices. This energy is stored in different ways in different types of batteries.
Is lit flourescent light bulb a chemical change?
Hmm, well lets see, if it's chemical there's no going back right? You cant make it into what it was, so if a flashbulb goes off, it like, explodes, and you need a new one because you can't use a broken bulb...(duh)... so i guess it's a chemical change . (Sorry for not getting to the point quickly ^-^)
What kind of energy transformation is a flashlight?
From chemical to heat and light. Batteries are chemical energy, the bulb emits lights but also gives out heat.
What is an example of chemical energy to electric energy?
The example of conversion of chemical energy to electrical energy is the process occurring in the batteries.
What does the chemical energy stored in the batteries change into when the flashlight turns on?
Chemical energy stored in a battery changes into electrical energy.... Not so complicated
What kind of energy batteries store?
Chemical energy. Batteries also convert chemical energy to electrical energy.
A stove and a heater both change electric energy to?
heat and chemical energy
What is an example of a change from chemical energy to electrical energy?
A storage battery converts chemical energy to electrical energy. Rechargeable batteries can reverse the reaction by converting electrical energy back to chemical energy.
What kind of energy is stored in a battery can be used to produce electric current?
In most cases, chemical energy stored in the battery produces the electric current. Rechargeable batteries are capable of taking electric currents and using them to reverse the chemical reactions, thus gaining more chemical energy that can be used readily.
What type of energy is stored in batteries and food?
batteries store chemical energy
Which energy change occurs in an operating voltaic cell?
Chemical energy is spontaneously converted to electrical energy.
Do batteries use nuclear energy?
Batteries use chemical energy to create voltage to drive current flow. They do not use nuclear energy.
What energy change takes place in a dancing doll?
Chemical energy from the batteries are transferred to moving (kinetic) and often sound energy.
What converts chemical energy to thermal energy?
chemical energy in batteries to thermal energy.
How is electricity made by non-rechargeable batteries?
a battery is a device used to convert chemical energy into electric energy and has not an indefinite timespan, when whole of chemical energy is converted into electric energy which is used in one way or the other, then their is no more interchangable chemical energy left. So we have to recharge the battery which converts the applied electrical energy back into chemical energy which can later be reused as described earlier.
