Galvanic cells are classified as either primary or secondary. A primary cell is used once and then thrown away when exhausted. A common example is an alkaline dry cell.
Alkaline cells are a subset of galvanic cells. Galvanic cells are more generic and use any metals. Alkaline batteries are a type of disposable battery or rechargeable battery dependent upon the reaction between zinc and manganese (IV) oxide (Zn/MnO2). 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 which are offered in the same nominal voltages and physical size.

What is the voltage of a galvanic cell made with silver an nickel?
The voltage of a galvanic cell is the difference between the half cell potentials for the two reactions. For silver and nickel, this is about 1 volt.
Difference between dye and stain?
A stain is temporary whereas dyes are permanent and can be removedonly after cell wall destruction.
What is the difference between osmolarity and tonicity?
Tonicity refers to the relative concentration of solute particles inside a cell, with respect to the concentration outside the cell. Osmolarity refers to the movement of water from the inside to the outside of a cell, and vice versa
Which chemical reduces oxygen in the blood causing a difference between the amount of oxygen the cells need and the amount of oxygen the blood cell can supply?
carbon monoxide.
What allows electrons to flow between electrodes in an electrochemical cell?
The difference in reactivity between two metals is what causes the electron flow, or voltage. It is facilitated by setting up a Galvanic cell, with two electrodes in solution connected by a copper wire (for electron flow) and a salt bridge (for balancing charges between electrodes.)
Which is a major difference between the cell membrane and the cell wall?
Which is a major difference between the cell membrane and the cell wall
What is the difference between a cell and a corpuscle?
a corpuscle doesn't have a nucleus or organelles, while a cell does.
What is the difference between a cell cycle and a egg cycle?
the difference between a cell cycle and egg cycle is...
What is the difference between human skin cell and human egg cell?
What is the Difference between egg and human cell membrane?
What is the difference between plant cell and animal cell?
a plant cell
What the difference between the solar cell and detector?
The main difference between the solar cell and detector is that the cell stores the energy, while the detector directs the energy towards the cell.
What is the difference between a cell and a nucleus?
The nucleus is the CENTER of a cell.
What a the difference between the cell wall and the cell membrane?
mn
What is the difference between a cell wall and cell membrane?

What is the difference between single cell and double cell blinds?
No
What is the difference between a cell wall cell membrane?

What is one difference between the animal and plant cell?
The most obvious difference between an animal cell and a plant cell is that animal cells have cell membranes, whereas plant cells have cell walls.
