Answer to Problem C21.1RE
Batteries can convert chemical energy to electrical energy.
Explanation of Solution
Batteries can convert chemical energy to electrical energy. It has positive and negative terminals. Electrons (electricity) are transferred through a wire connecting two half reactions that is occur in the electrodes. Half reactions discharge excess electrons at anode that flows to the cathode.
Batteries have positive and negative terminals. It can convert chemical energy to electrical energy.
