Electric-powered vehicles produce less air pollution than gasoline-powered vehicles. A Zinc-air battery can be used in electric vehicles because it is light weight and rechargeable. The battery can be uses water oxygen gas rom the are, a solid zinc electrode, and an electrolyte.
A) Write the balances half reactions that occur at at the anode and the cathode of the air-zinc battery
B) write a balanced new ionic equation that represents the overall reaction for the zinc-air battery. calculate the Ecell net.
c) determine the mass of oxygen from the air that would be required to produce a current of 1.5X 10^3 for 5.0min?
D) Identify and explain a quantitative disadvantage of replacing the zinc electrode with the lead electrode
