An automated external defibrillator (AED) is a medical device used to send an electric shock to the heart after cardiac arrest.  A key component of the AED is the power source, or battery.  Batteries used in AEDs need to have a good charge-to-weight ratio; they must be safe and reliable as well as rechargeable.Two types of rechargeable batteries used in early models of AEDs are the lead storage (also called lead-acid) battery and the nickel-cadmium (NiCd) battery.  These batteries consist of multiple electrochemical cells that are connected in series to deliver an electric potential between 9 V and 18 V.  A capacitor allows the AED to accumulate charge so that it can deliver between 300 V and 1,000 V.Some AEDs use a sealed lead storage battery.  Lead storage batteries are robust and hold a charge for a long time; however, they have a low energy-to-weight ratio.  Each lead storage unit has a cell potential Ecell of approximately 2.0 V, and a battery of four cells weighing 1,000 g can provide 30 W∙h of energy when discharged.Figure 1  Electron flow in a lead storage battery when discharging and chargingThe half-reactions for the anode and cathode of a discharging lead storage battery in 4 M sulfuric acid (H2SO4) are shown in Reactions 1 and 2, respectively:Pb(s)+HSO−4(aq)→PbSO4(s)+H+(aq)+2 e−Pb𝑠+HSO4-aq→PbSO4𝑠+H+aq+2 e-Reaction 1PbO2(s)+HSO−4(aq)+3 H+(aq)+2 e−→PbSO4(s)+2 H2O(l)PbO2s+HSO4-aq+3 H+aq+2 e-→PbSO4𝑠+2 H2O𝑙Reaction 2NiCd batteries have a greater energy-to-weight ratio than lead storage batteries but cannot hold as much charge.  Each NiCd cell has an Ecell of approximately 1.3 V, and a single-cell battery weighing 120 g can provide 7.2 W∙h of energy when discharged.The half-reactions at the anode and cathode for a discharging NiCd battery in KOH(aq) are shown in Reactions 3 and 4, respectively:Cd(s)+2 OH−(aq)→Cd(OH)2(s)+2 e−Cd𝑠+2 OH-aq→CdOH2𝑠+2 𝑒-Reaction 32 NiO2(s)+2 H2O(l)+2 e−→2 Ni(OH)2(s)+2 OH−(aq)2 NiO2s+2 H2O𝑙+2 e-→2 NiOH2𝑠+2 OH-aqReaction 4 Question 11If a single-cell lead storage battery in an AED is charging, it is operating as a(n):A.galvanic cell with a positive Ecell.B.electrolytic cell with a negative Ecell.C.concentration cell with a negative Ecell.D.fuel cell with a positive Ecell.
