The difference in chemical potential of the two electrodes (m

) is zero because both
electrodes are of the same composition and are at the same temperature. Equation (21.19) defines the
maximum work that can be obtained from the cell by a reversible process, i.e. a small flow of current.
The difference, j

21.2.3 FUEL CELLS
The above sections have considered how electrical work can be obtained by the transfer of material
from one electrode to another. In the Daniell cell, the Zn electrode is consumed, and ultimately the cell ...
