Question

WelenFEcell Regarding this equation W(ele) does it mean the maximum amount of energy the can be used with respect this battery? nF represents the charge of this battery, but what does that even mean And E(cell) refers to the potential energy difference between the electrodes in a galavanic cell. I am having a hard time grasping this matter, this is what I think it means, it's the maximum amount of energy(electrons) that can be transmitted to do work with respect to the difference of potiential energy in each terminal have little to no knowledge regarding this matter, and I have hardly any knowledge in physics. If anyone can add more information regarding this matter, it would be greatly appreciated As a side note, this is one of the topic we are covering in my chemistry class. Thank vou

Explanation / Answer

here Ecell is the emf ( electro motive force ) of the cell

emf is the maximum possible potential difference that a cell can offer

and Wele represents the work done in transfering a charge nF from the negative terminal of the battery to the positive terminal of the battery.

hence we have the equation

work = charge x potential difference
