Hi All,
For a chemistry report I am comparing the chemistys of different battery brands. Anyway, one of the tests I did was to plot the battery voltage Vs cell temperature.
From my knowledge of chemistry and half cells, I know that as temperature increase cell voltage should go up. This is because high temperatures promote more ion movement etc and generally speed up reactions. (If they are endothermic)
Anyway, I plotted my results and got the following graph:
Any idea why?
This was done with a standard AA 1.5V cell.
Cheers,

Because as temperature goes up, internal resistance also goes up. But it doesn't go up at the same rate as brownian motion.
Oops, didn't see your comment Dr Bob. Thanks
Btw, if you want to read the completed assignment just message. I'm pritty sure you won't want to though as its pritty dull.
