How it works! Galvanic cell / Daniell cell / Copper zinc battery (3D Animation)

Ғылым және технология

www.green-translation-service.com
This 3D animation explains in English the Galvanic cell (also known as Voltaic cell) by means of the Daniell cell, which is composed of a copper half-cell and a zinc half-cell. The video clearly explains how this type of battery works (copper zinc battery).
Contents:
1) Basics of the Galvanic cell (cupric sulfate solution + zinc sulfate solution)
2) What is a saltbridge (KNO3) / diaphragm?
3) Oxidation and reduction (zinc and copper)
4) Charge balancing
5) Measuring the voltage
6) Redox reaction of the Galvanic cell

    *This battery reconditioning program exceeded my presumptions. It worked on any drill battery, several AA and AAA batteries, **batery.repair** and any camera battery. The steps are simple and the act itself is exciting to do. No matter what type of battery you`ve got, it is sure to function again!*

    because it's wrong XD, those ions must be already in the solution, either leaving copper oxidize in sulfuric acid on it's own or charging the battery or pouring copper sulfate in the solution which is already oxidized, otherwise copper will not oxidize easily if connected with the more basic(zinc sulfate) solution so copper atoms are not going to abandon the metal surface easily they will rather make zinc oxidize faster. For the discharging reaction to occur you must have zinc metal oxidizing in an acid and copper ions reducing to go back copper metal

    Well, it's a little bit tricky because I explained it the "soft" way. In fact, the salt bridge also transfers ions from one pot to the other. So, there is an exchange between: a) salt bridge AND left pot, b) salt bridge AND right pot, and left pot AND right pot.

    2:10 I'm confused by Oxidation. If both rods are initially uncharged and the zinc/copper in the solution are positively charged, then why wouldn't the electrons flow into the solution? Why do the atoms move into the solution as positive ions (positive into positive) and leave electrons on the rod? 2:45 If both rods are gaining electrons, then why does the zinc become positively charged and the copper negatively charged? Shouldn't both gain a negative charge, but the zinc would gain it faster? I'm still confused by this process

    +maxpowers3732 I think this is the reason, as you doubted Cu too can lose electrons. But in this case Zn loses electrons easily than Cu. So released electrons from Zn travel to Cu plate(electrode. Then Cu plate becomes negatively charged. As you know negatively charged Cu plate attract positive ions. Look at the electron configuration of Cu and Zn. For Zn it is easy to lose 2 electrons but in Cu to become Cu2+ ion i have to 1 d-electron from inner shell. Cu:[Ar] 3d10 4s1 Zn: [Ar] 3d10 4s2 or other way, Zn can achieves more stability than Cu due to fully filled d-orbital by losing 2 valence electrons. Cu:[Ar] 3d9 4s2 Zn: [Ar] 3d10 4s2

    If both electrodes are becoming negatively charged, it seems misleading that both start at 50, and the zinc climbs to 80, and the copper lowers to 20. Would it not be more appropriate to raise the zinc from 50 and raise the zinc to a higher number?

    why can't electron pass thru the salt bridge? why can't you form a battery with copper and zinc touching each other? why doesn't zinc atom donate the electron to the H+ and form H2, why does it flow thru the circuit? Why doesn't zinc atom donate e to the H+ and form H2 WITHOUT any closed circuit? why do you need a salt bridge at all? why can't you just have 2 solutions mixed together? if it is indeed the magic of the salt bridge, what about a lead acid battery? Why doesn't any KZread video comes close to explain those questions? have any video maker thought thru the entire process at all?

    Hai,Thanks for the video.It was helpful. I have a doubt regarding this by the way.I understand that salt bridge is Na2SO4 salt.When Oxidation happens, Zinc atom loses its 2 electron which goes to the external circuit and zn2+ ion will be in the zinc sulphate solution.Zinc ion reacts with SO4 2- ions from the salt bridge and the electrolyte would be neutral.Now in the cathode part Copper from copper sulphate solution combines with the 2 electrons from the anode and copper metal deposites on the cathode leaving soa 2- ions.This makes the electrolyte at cathode negative in charge. 1.What happens to SO4 2- ions,does it combine with Na2+ ions in the salt bridge turning the solution a mixture of Na2SO4 and Cu2SO4 solution? 2.Untill what condition does the redox reaction prolong,Is it untill zinc totally gets consumed or at a condition where there is no more Na2+ or SO4 2- ions in Salt bridge to balance the electolytes?

    You messed up. You show the Positive copper ions leaving their electrons in the electrode and becoming part of the copper sulfate solution. the electrons are pulled from the electrode by the sulfate creating negative ions in the electroe not the electrolyte. this creates a potential energy as the electrons left in the zinc electrode create a current that fills the positively charged copper ions in the copper electrode. The electrons expelled from the copper electrode (in a battery) pass through the membrane to neutralize the zinc negative ions

  • @shadowobito
    @shadowobito11 жыл бұрын

    The anode is the negative TERMINAL, meaning the electrons flow from the anode (zinc) to the cathode(copper). The Anode is negative because the electrons stay in the zinc strip and later flow to the cathode, while the zinc atoms from where the electrons are released from jump INTO the solution and become ions. So basically, only the electrons and the normal atoms of zinc remain in the anode while the atoms that become positive LEAVE the anode.
