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.

A rechargeable battery, storage battery, or secondary cell, (or archaically accumulator) is a type of electrical battery which can be charged, discharged into a load, and recharged many times, as opposed to a disposable or primary battery, which is supplied fully charged and discarded after use. It is composed of one or more electrochemical cells.
