Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The piece of information required to calculate the energy of the battery has to be calculated.  The obvious thing available on the label of the battery is to be stated.  A means of determining the other information needed is to be devised.

Concept Introduction:

In a redox reaction, the conversion of chemical energy to electrical energy and vice versa is known as electrochemistry.  In an electrochemical cell, two electrodes are connected by a wire and electrons are free to move between two compartments.  Each compartment is known as a half-cell.
