Textbook Question
Chapter 20, Problem 78E
In some applications nickel-cadmium batteries have been replaced by nickel-zinc batteries. The overall cell reaction for this relatively new battery is:
2 H2 O(I) + 2 NiO(OH) (s) + Zn (s) → 2 Ni (OH)2 (s) + Zn (OH)2 (s)
- What is the cathode half-reaction?
- What is the anode half-reaction?
- A single nickel-cadmium cell has a voltage of 1.30 V. Based on the difference in the standard reduction potentials of Cd2 + and Zn2+ what voltage would you estimate a nickel-zinc battery will produce?
- Would you expect the specific energy density of a nickel-Zinc battery to be higher or lower than that of a nickel-cadmium battery?

What type of step is this? Check all that apply.
Draw the products of the step on the right-hand side of the drawing area
below. If more than one set of products is possible, draw any set.
Also, draw the mechanism arrows on the left-hand side of the drawing
area to show how this happens.
O primary
Otermination
O initialization
O electrophilic
O none of the above
×
☑
None
Can I get a drawing of what is happening with the orbitals (particularly the p orbital) on the O in the OH group? Is the p orbital on the O involved in the ring resonance? Why or why not?
