Answer:
Rechargeable cell
Explanation:
Weston cell
Chemistry
The anode is an amalgam of cadmium with mercury with a cathode of pure mercury over which a paste of mercurous sulfate and mercury is placed. The electrolyte is a saturated solution of cadmium sulfate, and the depolarizer is a paste of mercurous sulfate.
As shown in the illustration, the cell is set up in an H-shaped glass vessel with the cadmium amalgam in one leg and the pure mercury in the other. Electrical connections to the cadmium amalgam and the mercury are made by platinum wires fused through the lower ends of the legs.
Anode reaction
Cd(s) → Cd2+(aq) + 2e−
Cathode reaction
(Hg+)2SO42−(s) + 2e− → 2Hg(l) + SO42−(aq)
Reference cells must be applied in such a way that no current is drawn from them.
Dry cell types
Primary cell
Zinc-carbon cell
Alkaline cell
Lithium cell
Mercury cell
Silver oxide cell
Secondary cell
Nickel-cadmium cell
Lithium ion cell
Nickel metal hydride cell
Primary cells are not rechargeable and are generally disposed of after the cell's internal reaction has consumed the reactive starting chemicals.
Secondary cells are rechargeable, and may be reused multiple times.
