New cards
2

usecarbon dioxide

Noisy during ________ is a waste productmany moving parts.

New cards
3

amount of electricity

Small in size for the ________ produced.

New cards
4

Zinc

________ is the more reactive metal and forms ions more easily, readily releasing electrons.

New cards
5

Hydrogen

________ is difficult to storenot many places to fill up with ________ fuel.

New cards
6

Energy

________ must be supplied to break existing bonds, so bond breaking is an endothermic process.

New cards
7

electrolyte

The ________ used also affects the voltage as different ions react with the electrodes in different ways.

New cards
8

hydrogen oxygen

A(n) ________ fuel cell and electric motor are much quieter, and need less maintenance, than a petrol or diesel engine, but the hydrogen still needs to be stored in a container- like a tank.

New cards
9

endothermic reactions

In ________ the energy used to break bonds is greater than the energy released by forming them.

New cards
10

Chemical cells

________ use chemical reactions to convert and transfer energy to electrical energy.

New cards
11

simple cell

A(n) ________ is a source of electrical energy.

New cards
12

Fuel cells

________ will produce a voltage continuously, provided they have a constant supply of fuel and oxygen (from the air)

New cards
13

Energy

________ is released when new bonds are formed, so bond formation is an exothermic process.

New cards
14

A hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell and electric motor are much quieter, and need less maintenance, than a petrol or diesel engine, but the hydrogen still needs to be stored in a container

like a tank

New cards
15

Cells

Chemical cells use chemical reactions to transfer energy by electricity

New cards
16

Voltage

an electromotive force or potential difference expressed in volts.

New cards
17

Non-rechargeable

An electrochemical cell in which an irreversible chemical reaction generates electricity; a cell that cannot be recharged.

New cards
18

Bonds

atoms combining to form chemical compounds and bring stability to the resulting product
