In this chapter, we will describe the components, operating principles, and safety considerations for various types of batteries. We will also describe the environmental impacts of their production and end-of-use practices. Here you will find the videos, simulations, and articles for both the 10th Edition and the 2024 Release:
This video sets the stage for what students will learn about batteries in Chapter 8.
This ACS Reactions video explains why the Statue of Liberty is green.
This video explains Ohm's law using real-life examples, rather than using an analogy like in Figure 8.5.
This video explains and shows how a redox reaction is used to make a galvanic cell, which is illustrated in Figure 8.10.
This ACS Reactions video explains how you can make your cell phone battery last longer.
This ACS Reactions video talks about how Li-ion batteries can explode.
The animation shows the parts of a PEM fuel cell and will help you answer Your Turn 8.13.
This video shows a series of metals in solution; one results in a redox reaction.
