Would a cell with zinc and carbon electrodes in a distilled water electrolyte produce voltage?
A cell with zinc and carbon electrodes in a distilled water electrolyte would not produce a significant voltage because distilled water has very low conductivity due to the lack of ions. For a galvanic cell to generate voltage, there needs to be a sufficient concentration of ions in the electrolyte to facilitate the flow of electric current. However, if a small amount of electrolyte (like a salt or acid) is added to the distilled water, a measurable voltage could be produced.
What else can I help you with?
Which has more voltage pickle or lemon?
Neither. The voltage depends on the relative electronegativities of the materials in the electrodes, not the electrolyte between the electrodes.
How the parts of a cell interact to produce a current?
In a electrochemical cell or a battery there are two electrodes and an electrolyte. Chemical reaction occurs between the electrodes and the electrolyte which causes one of the electrodes to be positively charged and the next one to be negatively charged. The differences between the two electrodes creates voltage. When the battery is now connected to a circuit it makes a current.
Does a cell with copper and zinc electrodes in an acid electrolyte produce voltages?
Yes, a cell with copper and zinc electrodes in an acid electrolyte will produce voltage because of the difference in their reduction potentials. The zinc will undergo oxidation at the anode, releasing electrons and creating a potential difference with the copper cathode where reduction occurs. This potential difference between the two electrodes generates an electric current.
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).
How can a fruit act as a battery to produce voltage?
A battery is basically 2 metals separated by acid (which is used as an electrolyte). All you have to do is to place 2 metal plates (made out of certain metals) inside the fruit, and connect them into an electric circle. You'll see it produces weak but noticeable voltage.
Will an aluminum and a zinc electrode in pure water create a current?
If you put two metal electrodes in an electrolyte, such as salt water, electrons will flow from the less-noble metal to the more-noble one. If you use two electrodes of the same metal, there is no difference in nobility so no current will flow.
Which two metals would produce the highest voltage if used for electrodes?
ironi and iron
What is the name of liquid in batteries?
electrolyte When electrodes are placed in an electrolyte and a voltage is applied, the electrolyte will conduct electricity. In batteries, two metals with different electron affinities are used as electrodes; electrons flow from one electrode to the other outside of the battery, while inside the battery the circuit is closed by the electrolyte's ions. Here the electrode reactions convert chemical energy to electrical energy.

How can I use the cell voltage calculator to determine the voltage of a battery cell?
To determine the voltage of a battery cell using a cell voltage calculator, you need to input the values of the cell's components such as the electrolyte and electrodes. The calculator will then provide you with the voltage output of the battery cell based on these inputs.
What influences the amount of voltage that comes out a fruit?
The voltage of any electrochemical cell is entirely dependent on the two different electrode materials, not the type of electrolyte.Take the same electrodes and put them in anything containing an electrolyte: e.g. any fruit, a potato, salt water, baking soda solution, vinegar, and you will get the same voltage from the cell.The relevant property of the electrode materials is called electronegativity.
Does the distance between electrodes affect the voltage?
Not materially. The voltage is determined by the composition of the electrodes and the medium in which they are placed.
