Elsevier, Mar 20, 2000 - Technology & Engineering - 800 pages
Crompton's Battery Reference Book has become the standard reference source for a wide range of professionals and students involved in designing, manufacturing, and specifying products and systems that use batteries.

This book is unique in providing extensive data on specific battery types, manufacturers and suppliers, as well as covering the theory - an aspect of the book which makes an updated edition important for every professional's library. The coverage of different types of battery is fully comprehensive, ranging from minute button cells to large installations weighing several hundred tonnes.
  • Must-have information and data on all classes of battery in an accessible form
  • Essential reference for design engineers in automotive and aerospace applications, telecommunications equipment, household appliances, etc.
  • Informs you of developments over the past five years

Page 1-4 - The electrolytic solution pressure of the metal is greater than the osmotic pressure of the ions, so that positive metal ions will pass into the solution. As a result the metal is left with a negative charge, while the solution becomes positively charged. There is thus set up across the interface an electric field which attracts positive ions towards the metal and tends to pre- FIG. 36.— Origin of the eiecvent any more passing into trode potentlal diflerence
Page 1-16 - EMF of the com\plete cell is then equal to the algebraic sum of the potentials of the two electrodes, one being an oxidation potential and the other a reduction potential.
Page 1-18 - In words, therefore, the vapor pressure of the solvent in a solution is directly proportional to the mole fraction of the solvent, if Raoult's law is obeyed.
Page 1-10 - Electrodes of the second type consist of a metal and a sparingly soluble salt of this metal in contact with a solution of a soluble salt of the same anion.
Page 1-17 - Raoult' s law, the relative lowering of the vapour pressure is equal to the mole fraction of the solute in the solution.
