INTRODUCTION
An electric battery is a device consisting of two or more
electrochemical cells that convert stored chemical
energy into electrical energy. Each cell has a positive
terminal, or a cathode, and a negative terminal, or an
anode. The terminal marked positive is at a higher
electrical potential energy than the terminal marked
negative. The terminal marked positive is the source of
electrons that when connected to an external circuit
will flow and deliver energy to an external device.
A Dry cell is a type of chemical cell, commonly used
today, in the form of batteries, for many electrical
appliances. It was developed in 1886 by the German
scientist Karl Gassner.A dry cell uses a paste electrolyte,
with only enough moisture to allow current to flow.
Unlike a wet cell, a dry cell can operate in any
orientation without spilling, as it contains no free liquid,
making it suitable for portable equipment. By
comparison, the first wet cells were typically fragile
glass containers with lead rods hanging from the open
top and needed careful handling to avoid spillage. Lead-
acid battery did not achieve the safety and portability of
the dry cell until the development of the gel battery.
TYPES OF DRY CELLS
PRIMARY CELLS:- Primary cells are not rechargeable.
They have to be thrown away after their chemicals
are used up.
1.Zinc-carbon cells, also known as Leclanche cells
2.Alkaline battery
3.Lithium battery
4.Mercury battery
5.Silver oxide battery
SECONDARY CELLS:- Secondary cells are
rechargeable. They can be used again.
1.Nickel-cadmium battery
2.Lithium ion battery
3.Nickel metal hydride battery
AIM OF THE EXPERIMENT
To construct and study on the working of a dry cell
APPARATUS REQUIRED:
i. Zinc cell
ii. Graphite rod
iii. Brass cap
iv. Insulating tape
CHEMICALS REQUIRED:
i. Ammonium chloride
ii. Zinc chloride
iii. Magnesium dioxide
iv. Wax
v. Carbon powder
THEORY:
PRIMARY CELLS
ZINC-CARBON(Lechanche cell):
The lechanche cell is a battery invented and patented by the French
scientist Georges Lechanche in 1866.The battery contained a
conductingsolution (electrolyte) of ammonium chloride, a cathode
(positive terminal) of carbon, a depolarizer of manganese dioxide,
and an anode (negative terminal) of zinc.
ALKALINE CELLS:
Alkaline batteries and alkaline cells (a battery being a collection of
multiple cells) are a type of disposable battery or rechargeable
battery dependent upon the reaction between zinc and manganese
(IV) oxide (Zn/MnO2).Alkaline battery is an improved dry cell.
The alkaline battery gets its name because it has an alkaline
electrolyte of potassium hydroxide, as opposed to the acidic
electrolyte of the zinc-carbon batteries.
Zinc in a powdered form increases the surface area of the anode,
allowing more particle interaction. This lowers the internal resistance
and increases the power density.
LITHIUM CELLS:
Lithium batteries are disposable (primary) batteries that have lithium
metal or lithium compounds as an anode. They stand apart from,
other batteries in their high charge density (long life) and high cost
per unit. Depending on the design and chemical compounds used,
lithium cells can produce voltages from 1.5V (comparable to zinc-
carbon or alkaline battery) to about 3.7 V. The most common type of
lithium cell used in consumer appliances uses metallic lithium as
anode and manganese dioxide as cathode with a salt of lithium
dissolved in an organic solvent. Another type of lithium cell having a
large energy density is the lithium-thionyl chloride cell, Invented by
Adam Heller, lithium-thionyl chloride batteries are generally not sold
to the consumer market, and find more use in commercial/industrial
appliances, or are installed into devices where the consumer does
not replace them. The cell contains a liquid mixture of thionyl
chloride (SOCL2) and lithium tetrachloroaluminate(LiAlCl4), which act
as the cathode and electrolyte, respectively. A porous carbon
material serves as a cathode current collector which receives
electrons from the external circuit. Lithium-thionyl chloride batteries
are well suited to extremely low current appliances were log life is
necessary, such as wireless alarm systems.
MERCURY CELL:
A mercury battery (also called mercuric oxide battery, or mercury
cell) is a non-rechargeable electrochemical battery, a primary cell.
Mercury batteries were used in the shape of buttons cells for
watches, hearing aids, cameras and calculators,and in larger forms
for other applications.
It consists of a zinc container as anode and carbon rod acts as
cathode. A paste of HgO and KOH act as electrolyte. A lining of
porous paper keeps the electrolyte separarted from zinc anode. The
following cell reaction occurs.
At anode: Zn(S) +20H-
(aq) →ZnO(S) + H2O (L) +2e-
At cathode: HgO(S) + H2O(I) →2e-
Hg (I) + 2OH-
(aq)
Overall reaction: ZnO(S) + H2O (I) →2e-
ZnO(S) + Hg (I)
Since the overall cell reaction does not involve any ions whose
concentratiom may change therefore this cell gives a constant
potential of 1.35V throughoutits life.
SECONDARY CELLS
NICKEL-CADMIUM (NiCd):
The active components ofa rechargeable NiCd batteryin the charged state
consist of nickel hydroxide (NIOOH) in the positiveelectrode and cadmium(Cd)
in the negative electrode.For the electrolyte, usuallycausticsolution
(potassium hydroxide)is used.Due to theirlow internal resistance and the
very good current conductingproperties,Ni-Cd cells can supplyextremelyhigh
currents and can be recharged rapidly.
The chemical reactions at the cadmium electrode duringdischarge are:
Cd+2OH-
→Cd(OH)2 + 2e-
The reactions at the nickel oxide Electrodes are:
2Ni (OH) + 2H2O + 2e-
→2Ni (OH) 2+ 2OH-
The net reaction duringdischarge is:
2Ni (OH)+Cd + 2H2O→ 2Ni(OH)2 + Cd(OH)2
NICKEL METAL HYDRIDECELL:
A nickel-metal hydride battery, abbreviated as NiMH, is a type of
rechargeable battery. The chemical reaction at the positive electrode is
similar to that of the nickel-cadmium cell (NiCd), with both using nickel ox
hydroxide (NiOOH). However, the negative electrodes use a hydrogen-
absorbing alloy instead of cadmium.
A NiMH battery can have two to three times the capacity of an equivalent
size NiCd, and its energy density can approach that of a lithium-ion
battery.
The negative electrode reaction occurring in a NIMH cell is:
H2O+M+e-
→OH-
+MH
The charge reaction is read left-to-right and the discharge reaction is read
right-to-left.
On the positive electrode, nickel oxyhydroxide, NiO (OH), is formed:
Ni (OH)2+ OH-
→ NiO(OH)+ H20+e-
Charging voltage is in the range of 1.4 -1.6 V/cell. In general, a constant-
voltage charging method cannot be used for automatic charging. When
fast charging, it is advisable to charge the NIMH cells with a smart battery
charger to avoid overcharging which can damage cells. A NiCd charger is
not a substitute for an automatic NIMH charger.
LEAD STORAGE BATTERY:
The electrodes of the cell in a lead storage battery consist of lead
grids. The openingsof the anodicgrid are filled with spongy
(porous) lead. The opening of the cathodic grid is filled with lead
dioxide {PbO2}.Dilutesulphuric acid {H2SO4} serves as the
electrolyte. When the battery is deliveringa current, i.e
discharging, the lead at the anode is oxidized:
Pb →Pb2+
+2e-
Because the lead ions are in the presence of aqueoussulphate
ions (from the sulphuric acid), insolublelead sulphate
precipitatesonto the electrode. The overall reaction at the anode
is therefore:
Pb+ SO42-
→ PbSO4 (electrode) + 2e-
Electrons that flow from the anodesimultaneouslyreduce the
lead dioxide at the cathode:
2e +PbO2 + 4H+-
→Pb 2+
+2H2O
PROCEDURE:
 First an equal amount of NHCI and ZnCl, with a little amount of
water and required amount of agar-agar are made into semi-
solid paste which is applied on the inside part of the zine vessel.
 In the middle of the graphite rod is placed and the in between
gap is packed tightly with carbon powder and MnO2, in the ratio
3:1 by mass without leaving any air gap.
 Finally the upper part is sealed with wax, leaving small outlet or
gap to enable the ammonia gas produced inside to escape out.
WORKING OFA DRY CELL:
PARTS:
Anode (NegativeTerminal): Zinc metal
Cathode (Positive Terminal): Carboncoatedwith MnO2
Electrolyte:Mixtureof plasterof Paris, Ammonium chloride and zinc
chloride
Dry cells contain a Zinc container which itself acts as a negative
electrode. The moist paste is made from a mixture of plaster of Paris,
Ammonium chloride and Zinc chloride and salt. Again, the lead ions
that are formed react with aqueous sulphate ions to form insoluble
lead sulphate on the electrode, and the overall reaction at the
cathode is:
2e-
+PbO2+4H+
+SO4
2-
→PbSO4 (electrode) +2H2O
The lead storage cell can be recharged by passing a current in the
reverse direction. The half-reaction are the exact reverse of those
that occur when the cell is operating as a voltaic cell.
NOTE: An important aspect of the lead storage cell is that the
products of the reactions at the anode and cathode are insoluble
(lead sulphate in each case). This means that these substances are
readily available to participate in the reverse reactions that recharge
the cell.
CONSTRUCTION OF A DRY CELL:
Dry cell batteries, regardless of their size, typically have the same
basic components. At the centre of each rod called a cathode, which
is often made of carbon and surrounded by an electrolyte paste.
Different chemicals can be used to create this paste, such as
ammonium chloride and magnesium dioxide, depending on the type
of battery. The cathode and electrolyte paste wrapped in paper or
cardboard and sealed into a metal cylinder called an anode which is
typically made of zinc and ammonium paste. This forms the
electrolyte of the cell and takes up the major amount of volume in
the battery. Zinc chloride is hygroscopic in nature and helps to
maintain the moistness of the paste. It is wrapped in a canvas sheet.
 ANODE REACTION:
The oxidation of zinc gives two electrons
Zn (s) →Zn2+
(aq) + 2 e-
The carbon rod forms the positive electrode. It is coated with MnO2
and powdered carbon. The powdered carbon reduces the internal
resistance of the cell. The top of the cell contains a layer of sawdust.
This acts as the base for the top layer of bitumen for sealing
purposes.
 CATHODEREACTION:
2MnO2 (s) + H2 (gas) →Mn2O3 (solid) + H2O(l)
 ELECTROLYTE REACTION:
Hydrogen from Ammonium chloride
2NH4+
(aq) + 2e→H (g) +2NH3 (aq)
 OVERALLREACTION IN DRY CELL:
Zn(s) + 2MnO2 (s) +2NH4 (aq) →Mn2O3 (s) +Zn (NH3)2
2+
(aq) +H2O (L)
A vent is provided in this layer to allow the gases formed in the
chemical reaction to escape. Irrespective of the size of the dry cell,
the EMF is 1.5 V because the zinc and carbon rods used as electrodes
specified a chemical equivalent. The chemical equivalent changes
from metal to metal and, depending on the type of combination
used, the EMF differs.
OBSERVATION:
After the construction of the cell, a voltmeter was
connected across the positive and negative electrodes of
the dry cell to measure the cell voltage and it is found to
be 1.49V.
CONCLUSION:
A dry cell was constructed in the lab and the voltage was
found to be 1.49V.

  • 6. →BIBLIOGRAPHY INTRODUCTION An electric battery is a device consisting of two or more electrochemical cells that convert stored chemical energy into electrical energy. Each cell has a positive terminal, or a cathode, and a negative terminal, or an anode. The terminal marked positive is at a higher electrical potential energy than the terminal marked negative. The terminal marked positive is the source of electrons that when connected to an external circuit will flow and deliver energy to an external device. A Dry cell is a type of chemical cell, commonly used today, in the form of batteries, for many electrical appliances. It was developed in 1886 by the German scientist Karl Gassner.A dry cell uses a paste electrolyte, with only enough moisture to allow current to flow. Unlike a wet cell, a dry cell can operate in any orientation without spilling, as it contains no free liquid, making it suitable for portable equipment. By comparison, the first wet cells were typically fragile glass containers with lead rods hanging from the open top and needed careful handling to avoid spillage. Lead-
  • 7. acid battery did not achieve the safety and portability of the dry cell until the development of the gel battery. TYPES OF DRY CELLS PRIMARY CELLS:- Primary cells are not rechargeable. They have to be thrown away after their chemicals are used up. 1.Zinc-carbon cells, also known as Leclanche cells 2.Alkaline battery 3.Lithium battery 4.Mercury battery 5.Silver oxide battery SECONDARY CELLS:- Secondary cells are rechargeable. They can be used again. 1.Nickel-cadmium battery 2.Lithium ion battery 3.Nickel metal hydride battery
  • 8. AIM OF THE EXPERIMENT To construct and study on the working of a dry cell APPARATUS REQUIRED: i. Zinc cell ii. Graphite rod iii. Brass cap iv. Insulating tape CHEMICALS REQUIRED: i. Ammonium chloride ii. Zinc chloride iii. Magnesium dioxide iv. Wax v. Carbon powder
  • 9. THEORY: PRIMARY CELLS ZINC-CARBON(Lechanche cell): The lechanche cell is a battery invented and patented by the French scientist Georges Lechanche in 1866.The battery contained a conductingsolution (electrolyte) of ammonium chloride, a cathode (positive terminal) of carbon, a depolarizer of manganese dioxide, and an anode (negative terminal) of zinc. ALKALINE CELLS: Alkaline batteries and alkaline cells (a battery being a collection of multiple cells) are a type of disposable battery or rechargeable battery dependent upon the reaction between zinc and manganese (IV) oxide (Zn/MnO2).Alkaline battery is an improved dry cell. The alkaline battery gets its name because it has an alkaline electrolyte of potassium hydroxide, as opposed to the acidic electrolyte of the zinc-carbon batteries. Zinc in a powdered form increases the surface area of the anode, allowing more particle interaction. This lowers the internal resistance and increases the power density.
  • 10. LITHIUM CELLS: Lithium batteries are disposable (primary) batteries that have lithium metal or lithium compounds as an anode. They stand apart from, other batteries in their high charge density (long life) and high cost per unit. Depending on the design and chemical compounds used, lithium cells can produce voltages from 1.5V (comparable to zinc- carbon or alkaline battery) to about 3.7 V. The most common type of lithium cell used in consumer appliances uses metallic lithium as anode and manganese dioxide as cathode with a salt of lithium dissolved in an organic solvent. Another type of lithium cell having a large energy density is the lithium-thionyl chloride cell, Invented by Adam Heller, lithium-thionyl chloride batteries are generally not sold to the consumer market, and find more use in commercial/industrial appliances, or are installed into devices where the consumer does not replace them. The cell contains a liquid mixture of thionyl chloride (SOCL2) and lithium tetrachloroaluminate(LiAlCl4), which act as the cathode and electrolyte, respectively. A porous carbon material serves as a cathode current collector which receives electrons from the external circuit. Lithium-thionyl chloride batteries are well suited to extremely low current appliances were log life is necessary, such as wireless alarm systems.
  • 11. MERCURY CELL: A mercury battery (also called mercuric oxide battery, or mercury cell) is a non-rechargeable electrochemical battery, a primary cell. Mercury batteries were used in the shape of buttons cells for watches, hearing aids, cameras and calculators,and in larger forms for other applications. It consists of a zinc container as anode and carbon rod acts as cathode. A paste of HgO and KOH act as electrolyte. A lining of porous paper keeps the electrolyte separarted from zinc anode. The following cell reaction occurs. At anode: Zn(S) +20H- (aq) →ZnO(S) + H2O (L) +2e- At cathode: HgO(S) + H2O(I) →2e- Hg (I) + 2OH- (aq) Overall reaction: ZnO(S) + H2O (I) →2e- ZnO(S) + Hg (I) Since the overall cell reaction does not involve any ions whose concentratiom may change therefore this cell gives a constant potential of 1.35V throughoutits life.
  • 12. SECONDARY CELLS NICKEL-CADMIUM (NiCd): The active components ofa rechargeable NiCd batteryin the charged state consist of nickel hydroxide (NIOOH) in the positiveelectrode and cadmium(Cd) in the negative electrode.For the electrolyte, usuallycausticsolution (potassium hydroxide)is used.Due to theirlow internal resistance and the very good current conductingproperties,Ni-Cd cells can supplyextremelyhigh currents and can be recharged rapidly. The chemical reactions at the cadmium electrode duringdischarge are: Cd+2OH- →Cd(OH)2 + 2e- The reactions at the nickel oxide Electrodes are: 2Ni (OH) + 2H2O + 2e- →2Ni (OH) 2+ 2OH- The net reaction duringdischarge is: 2Ni (OH)+Cd + 2H2O→ 2Ni(OH)2 + Cd(OH)2
  • 13. NICKEL METAL HYDRIDECELL: A nickel-metal hydride battery, abbreviated as NiMH, is a type of rechargeable battery. The chemical reaction at the positive electrode is similar to that of the nickel-cadmium cell (NiCd), with both using nickel ox hydroxide (NiOOH). However, the negative electrodes use a hydrogen- absorbing alloy instead of cadmium. A NiMH battery can have two to three times the capacity of an equivalent size NiCd, and its energy density can approach that of a lithium-ion battery. The negative electrode reaction occurring in a NIMH cell is: H2O+M+e- →OH- +MH The charge reaction is read left-to-right and the discharge reaction is read right-to-left. On the positive electrode, nickel oxyhydroxide, NiO (OH), is formed:
  • 14. Ni (OH)2+ OH- → NiO(OH)+ H20+e- Charging voltage is in the range of 1.4 -1.6 V/cell. In general, a constant- voltage charging method cannot be used for automatic charging. When fast charging, it is advisable to charge the NIMH cells with a smart battery charger to avoid overcharging which can damage cells. A NiCd charger is not a substitute for an automatic NIMH charger. LEAD STORAGE BATTERY: The electrodes of the cell in a lead storage battery consist of lead grids. The openingsof the anodicgrid are filled with spongy (porous) lead. The opening of the cathodic grid is filled with lead dioxide {PbO2}.Dilutesulphuric acid {H2SO4} serves as the electrolyte. When the battery is deliveringa current, i.e discharging, the lead at the anode is oxidized: Pb →Pb2+ +2e- Because the lead ions are in the presence of aqueoussulphate ions (from the sulphuric acid), insolublelead sulphate precipitatesonto the electrode. The overall reaction at the anode is therefore: Pb+ SO42- → PbSO4 (electrode) + 2e-
  • 15. Electrons that flow from the anodesimultaneouslyreduce the lead dioxide at the cathode: 2e +PbO2 + 4H+- →Pb 2+ +2H2O PROCEDURE:  First an equal amount of NHCI and ZnCl, with a little amount of water and required amount of agar-agar are made into semi- solid paste which is applied on the inside part of the zine vessel.  In the middle of the graphite rod is placed and the in between gap is packed tightly with carbon powder and MnO2, in the ratio 3:1 by mass without leaving any air gap.  Finally the upper part is sealed with wax, leaving small outlet or gap to enable the ammonia gas produced inside to escape out. WORKING OFA DRY CELL: PARTS: Anode (NegativeTerminal): Zinc metal
  • 16. Cathode (Positive Terminal): Carboncoatedwith MnO2 Electrolyte:Mixtureof plasterof Paris, Ammonium chloride and zinc chloride Dry cells contain a Zinc container which itself acts as a negative electrode. The moist paste is made from a mixture of plaster of Paris, Ammonium chloride and Zinc chloride and salt. Again, the lead ions that are formed react with aqueous sulphate ions to form insoluble lead sulphate on the electrode, and the overall reaction at the cathode is: 2e- +PbO2+4H+ +SO4 2- →PbSO4 (electrode) +2H2O The lead storage cell can be recharged by passing a current in the reverse direction. The half-reaction are the exact reverse of those that occur when the cell is operating as a voltaic cell. NOTE: An important aspect of the lead storage cell is that the products of the reactions at the anode and cathode are insoluble (lead sulphate in each case). This means that these substances are readily available to participate in the reverse reactions that recharge the cell. CONSTRUCTION OF A DRY CELL: Dry cell batteries, regardless of their size, typically have the same basic components. At the centre of each rod called a cathode, which is often made of carbon and surrounded by an electrolyte paste. Different chemicals can be used to create this paste, such as ammonium chloride and magnesium dioxide, depending on the type of battery. The cathode and electrolyte paste wrapped in paper or cardboard and sealed into a metal cylinder called an anode which is typically made of zinc and ammonium paste. This forms the
  • 17. electrolyte of the cell and takes up the major amount of volume in the battery. Zinc chloride is hygroscopic in nature and helps to maintain the moistness of the paste. It is wrapped in a canvas sheet.  ANODE REACTION: The oxidation of zinc gives two electrons Zn (s) →Zn2+ (aq) + 2 e- The carbon rod forms the positive electrode. It is coated with MnO2 and powdered carbon. The powdered carbon reduces the internal resistance of the cell. The top of the cell contains a layer of sawdust. This acts as the base for the top layer of bitumen for sealing purposes.  CATHODEREACTION: 2MnO2 (s) + H2 (gas) →Mn2O3 (solid) + H2O(l)  ELECTROLYTE REACTION: Hydrogen from Ammonium chloride 2NH4+ (aq) + 2e→H (g) +2NH3 (aq)
  • 18.  OVERALLREACTION IN DRY CELL: Zn(s) + 2MnO2 (s) +2NH4 (aq) →Mn2O3 (s) +Zn (NH3)2 2+ (aq) +H2O (L) A vent is provided in this layer to allow the gases formed in the chemical reaction to escape. Irrespective of the size of the dry cell, the EMF is 1.5 V because the zinc and carbon rods used as electrodes specified a chemical equivalent. The chemical equivalent changes from metal to metal and, depending on the type of combination used, the EMF differs. OBSERVATION: After the construction of the cell, a voltmeter was connected across the positive and negative electrodes of the dry cell to measure the cell voltage and it is found to be 1.49V. CONCLUSION: A dry cell was constructed in the lab and the voltage was found to be 1.49V.
