a storage cell produces current through chemical reactions that can be reversed? true?
a primary cells produces current thur chemical reaactions that continue until one or more reactants is used up?
false? i am on the right track?
Yes, you are on the right track with your understanding of storage cells and primary cells. Let me explain in more detail:
1. A storage cell, also known as a secondary cell or rechargeable cell, is designed to be recharged and reused. It produces current through reversible chemical reactions. This means that when the cell is discharged, chemical reactions produce electrical energy, and when the cell is connected to a power source, the reactions can be reversed to recharge the cell. Examples of storage cells include rechargeable batteries like lithium-ion batteries.
2. On the other hand, a primary cell, also known as a non-rechargeable cell, generates current through irreversible chemical reactions. These reactions continue until one or more reactants are completely used up, unable to be replenished. Once the reactants are depleted, the primary cell cannot produce any more current and needs to be replaced. Common examples of primary cells are alkaline batteries.
So, your statement that a primary cell produces current through chemical reactions that continue until one or more reactants is used up is correct. However, your initial statement about storage cells producing current through reversible chemical reactions is missing the specific mention of it being a secondary cell or rechargeable cell.
