Nickel-cadmium (nicad) alkaline batteries are currently very popular because they maintain a constant potential and are rechargeable. The relevant half-cell reactions for such batteries are given in this table.
Half-Reaction,
Cd(OH)2(s) + 2e- -> Cd(s) + 2 OH- (aq) E(volts) = -0.809
NiOOH(s)+ H2O(l) + e- -> Ni(OH)2(s)+OH-(aq) E(volts) = +0.490
A) Write a balanced equation for the process that produces electricity in a nicad battery and specify the half- reaction that occurs at the anode.
B) Calculate the potential expected for a nicad battery
C) If such a battery produces a current of 50 milliamps for a period of 6.00 hours, how many electrons will be transferred?
D) What mass of cadmium will undergo oxidation (or reduction) during the process in part C?
