The symbol for the fuel cell and electrolysis cell is derived from the battery symbol the longer and shorter lines represent, respectively, the cathode and anode, and the dashed line represents the electrolyte. An arrow drawn in the direction of positive current flow points toward an electrolyte with negative charge carriers, as in the manner of the transistor symbol. Galvanic and electrolytic cells are distinguished by the location of the positive terminal a positive terminal at the cathode indicates a galvanic cell, while a positive terminal at the anode indicates an electrolytic cell. The outer box represents the system enclosure, which may or may not be open. The values of potential and overpotential are consistent with Table 2. 

We now see that mitochondria contain a variety of molecules—cytochromes, flavins, ubiquinone, and iron-sulfur proteins—all of which can act as electron carriers. To discuss how these carriers cooperate to transport electrons from reduced substrates to 02, it is useful to have a measure of each molecule s tendency to release or accept electrons. The standard redox potential, E°, provides such a measure. Redox potentials are thermodynamic properties that depend on the differences in free energy between the oxidized and reduced forms of a molecule. Like the electric potentials that govern electron flow from one pole of a battery to another, E° values are specified in volts. Because electron-transfer reactions frequently involve protons also, an additional symbol is used to indicate that an E° value applies to a particular pH thus, E° refers to an E° at pH 7. 

Electrical diagrams contain symbols used to represent the various circuit elements. For example, Figure 10.5 is a simple DC circuit containing a battery, a switch, and a resistor. 

From your previous formula work, you know that subscripts are the numbers that are written after the symbol for an element and placed slightly lower. In the formula for water, (H20) 2 is a subscript (0 has a subscript of 1 that is understood). The subscript numbers indicate how many atoms of a particular element are in a formula. In the formula for battery acid (H2S04), the subscripts show that there are two hydrogen atoms, one sulfur atom, and four oxygen atoms. 

The name and symbol come from the Greek lithos, meaning stone. In 1817, Johan August Arfvedson (1792-1841) discovered lithium in a sample of petalite. He named it lithion because it came from a mineral source. This name was later transformed into lithium to match other names. Lithium is the lightest of all the metals, but because it is corrosive and highly reactive, it does not occur in elemental form. Trace amounts of lithium can be found in most igneous rock. It is used commercially in alloys, nuclear applications, and batteries. Lithium carbide is used as a treatment for various mental illnesses. 

The experiments with H. M. employed a battery of tests. One set of experiments measured his sensitivity by means of a technique derived from signal detection theory (Corbit Engen, 1971), in which I asked H. M. to sniff 20 presentations of dilute odorant solution randomly interspersed with 20 presentations of odorless blank. The odor was so faint as to make it hard to tell it apart from blank. Figure 1 compares some of the data for H. M. with a male normosmic (P. D.) matched for age and race. After each presentation I asked H. M. whether he could smell an odor. His pattern of responding was the same as that of normosmics sometimes he gave affirmative responses to blanks (false alarms, symbolized by open symbols in fig. 14.1), but he did not always respond affirmatively to the dilute sample (correct affirmatives are symbolized by solid symbols in fig. 14.1). 

The capacity of batteries used to supply electric vehicles is generally referred to a 5 h discharge, and in that case, the capacity is represented with the symbol C5. Moreover, the value of battery capacity is often used to represent a current value. 

When the sharing of electrons in a bond isn t equal, the bond is polar, as in the H — Cl bond. Just like this battery, the bond has two poles, one positive and one negative. The symbols 8 and 8 (delta plus and delta minus) are used to show the distribution of partial charges in a polar covalent bond. The arrow points in the direction of the negative end of the bond. 

Prior to leaving the manufacturing plant, all lead-add batteries should be labelled (Fig. 16.3) in accordance with prevailing national and international [8] regulations and with the international recycling symbol ISO 7000 1135, better known as the Moebius loop. Furthermore, there should be instructions for the recycling of the battery or a point of contact clearly displayed when it is at the end of its useful life. Each label should state, lead-acid battery , Pb or the words LEAD , RETURN and RECYCLE . If possible, the label should also have a bar code which contains information about the place of manufacture, the date of production, the battery type, and its components. 

The vehicle used to transport the used battery must be correctly identified following international conventions and local legislation. The appropriate symbols and colors should be used to identify the fact that corrosive, hazardous waste is being transported. A complete Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) should also be visible, either attached to the side of the used battery stack or inside the transport vehicle. Appendix 1 contains a sample MSDS sheet, for illustration purposes only.
