Interactives
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:
Chapter 8 Opening Video
This video sets the stage for what students will learn about batteries in Chapter 8.
Green Chemistry
This ACS Reactions video explains why the Statue of Liberty is green.
Ohm's Law
This video explains Ohm's law using real-life examples, rather than using an analogy like in Figure 8.5.
Galvanic Cell
This video explains and shows how a redox reaction is used to make a galvanic cell, which is illustrated in Figure 8.10.
Cell Phone Battery Life
This ACS Reactions video explains how you can make your cell phone battery last longer.
