Answer #1

Hi there,

A rechargeable battery is nothing but it behaves like galvanic cell during discharging (forward reaction occurs)

and behaves as electrolytic cells during charging (reverse reaction occurs).

A Nickel-Cadmium rechargeable battery can provide about 1.2 V via the following reaction, which is occurring in the battery:

Hope this helped you!

    5. The nickel-cadmium battery, despite issues with the toxicity of Cd, is still used in some rechargeable batteries because it has very consistent voltage over long discharge times. a) Using only half-cell reactions given in Table 16.1, write the overall reaction and give the highest AV° value possible for a NiCd battery. b) The actual half-cell reactions used in a Nicd battery are: Ca(OH)2(8) + 2e → Cds + 2OH(aq) (Vº = -0.86V) NiO(OH)) + H2O) +e Ni(OH)2(s) + OH(aq)...
