Well for one, it would be a dry cell without it... But to explain the other side, it is the chemical reaction that causes the electricity to flow. There is quite a bit out there on what happens at an actomic, level, and how the electron flows as part of the chemical reaction.
What else can I help you with?
Why a cell has internal resistance?
due to the electrolyte present between the two electodes of the cell
Would a battery made out of lemon and two metals be a wet cell or a dry cell battery?
wet cell battery
What is wet cell weight?
The mass of a cell which has not been dehydrated.
Explain the construction and working of a dry cell?
a dry cell has many uses. it is basically a battery. a dry cell can be used in torches, clocks, watches, etc. this is the exact definition of a dry cell (from Science Focis 2) "A dry cell is not completely dry, but contains a chemical paste instead of a liquid. As in a wet cell, a chemical reaction generates charge that will flow when the cell is connected to a circuit"
Why is a section of the battery referred to as a lead-acid cell?
Alkaline batteries are named for their highly alkaline electrolyte solution which is potassium hydroxide (aka caustic potash, aka "traditional" lye) mixed with water. Lead-Acid batteries are similarly named in-part after their highly acidic electrolyte solution consisting of 35% sulfuric acid and 65% water.
A wet cell is an electrochemical cell in which the electrolyte is a?
true
What is the conducting liquid in a wet cell called?
The electrolyte
Difference between dry cell and wet cell?
a dry cell is a cell that has electrolyte that is a paste a wet cell is a cell that has a liquid electrolyte -sads
In wet type of voltaic cell what is electrolyte?
an acidic liquid
How are wet and dry cells the same?
A wet cell and a dry cell are the same in that they each have an anode, a cathode and and electrolyte. All three components are different chemically. The anode and the cathode will exhibit a voltage difference when placed in the electically conductive electrolyte. The voltage and reaction between the three parts of the cell are chemical reactions. A wet cell is different from a dry cell in that the electrolyte in the wet cell is a liquid where the so-called dry cell has an electrolyte that is either damp, moist or in a gelatinous form. ( The electrolyte is not actually "dry".) Otherwise the cells are the same. The cell may be a primary cell that is depleted as one of the elements is chemically consumed or the cell may be rechargable by reversing the chemical reaction.
Function of dry or wet cells?
A 'wet' cell uses a conducting liquid called an electrolyte; a 'dry cell uses a conducting gel called an electrolyte. So, really, a 'dry' cell is simply a non-spillable wet cell! They both store electrical engergy for use later on.
How can a dry cell produce electrical energy?
A "dry" cell is actually a misnomer. The electrolyte is actually a moist paste, with enough liquid in it to make the electrochemistry operate exactly the same as a wet cell. The practical difference between a dry cell and a wet cell is that the moist paste electrolyte of the dry cell will not spill out when the cell is turned over like the liquid electrolyte of the wet cell does. This makes manufacturing and transportation of ready to use dry cells possible, while wet cells must be manufactured and shipped without the liquid electrolyte and are filled at the point of sale after installation.
Can a dry cell battery be recharged?
Some wet cells can be recharged (e.g. lead acid cell) some wet cells can't be recharged (e.g. gravity cell). Some dry cells can be recharged (e.g. NiMH cell) some wet cells can't be recharged (e.g. carbon zinc cell). It depends on the cell chemistry not the wet/dry construction. Also any wet cell can be made into a dry cell by absorbing the wet electrolyte into something and making a damp paste electrolyte.
Are standard AA and AAA batteries wet cell batteries?
No, standard AA and AAA batteries are dry cell batteries, which means they use a paste electrolyte instead of a liquid. Wet cell batteries, on the other hand, use a liquid electrolyte.
How does a wet-cell battery look like?
A wet-cell battery typically consists of lead plates submerged in an electrolyte solution of sulfuric acid and water. The electrolyte gives the battery its "wet" characteristic. The battery casing is usually transparent or translucent to allow for easy inspection of the liquid levels.
Why is a cell referred to as a dry cell?
A cell is referred to as a dry cell because it contains little to no free liquid electrolyte. The electrolyte is typically immobilized in a paste or absorbed in a material like paper or fiberglass, making it "dry" in comparison to other cells that may contain liquid electrolytes.
What does a wet cell car battery contain?
A car battery is a rechargeable, or secondary, wet cell battery that contains lead, lead oxide, plates and an electrolyte solution that contains a mixture of water and acid.
