Answer to Problem 14TE
The chemical reaction in a disposable battery is an exothermic reaction and the chemical reaction in the recharging process of the rechargeable battery is an endothermic reaction.
Explanation of Solution
The process of the conversion of reactant species into the product species is called a chemical reaction.
There are two main types of chemical reactions based on the exchange of energy.
The chemical reaction where the energy is absorbed in the system from the external area or the surrounding is the endothermic type of reaction.
The chemical reaction where the energy is released to the surrounding from the area of interest or the system is the exothermic type of reaction.
The disposable battery is a type of battery that releases energy. Hence, the disposable battery has an exothermic type of reaction.
The disposable battery is of no use after once it is used but the rechargeable battery can be used again and again.
The rechargeable battery has two processes involved in it, discharging and recharging reactions. The exothermic reaction occurs during the discharging process and an endothermic reaction occurs in the recharging process because it requires a high input of energy.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the chemical reaction in a disposable battery is an exothermic reaction and the chemical reaction in the recharging process of the rechargeable battery is an endothermic reaction.

- A piece of metal is placed on top of a 2.0 - kg wooden block (mass density = 562 kg/m³) piece. UseArchimedes' principle to calculate the mass (in kg) of copper if the top of the wood surface is exactly at thewater's surface?arrow_forwardA filmmaker wants to achieve an interesting visual effect by filming a scene through a converging lens with a focal length of 50.0 m. The lens is placed betwen the camera and a horse, which canters toward the camera at a constant speed of 7.9 m/s. The camera starts rolling when the horse is 36.0 m from the lens. Find the average speed of the image of the horse (a) during the first 2.0 s after the camera starts rolling and (b) during the following 2.0 s.arrow_forwardAnswer the question (Physics)arrow_forward

- An object is placed 24.1 cm to the left of a diverging lens (f = -6.51 cm). A concave mirror (f= 14.8 cm) is placed 30.2 cm to the right of the lens to form an image of the first image formed by the lens. Find the final image distance, measured relative to the mirror. (b) Is the final image real or virtual? (c) Is the final image upright or inverted with respect to the original object?arrow_forwardConcept Simulation 26.4 provides the option of exploring the ray diagram that applies to this problem.
