Abstract
An electrochemical cell is a device
capable of either deriving electrical
energy from chemical reactions or
facilitating chemical reactions through
the introduction of electrical energy. A
common example of an electrochemical
cell is a standard 1.5-volt "battery".
(Actually a single "Galvanic cell"; a
battery properly consists of multiple
cells, connected in either parallel or
series pattern.)
The lemon battery is similar to the first
electrical battery invented in 1800 by
Alessandro Volta, who used brine (salt
water) instead of lemon juice. The lemon
battery is described in some textbooks in
order to illustrate the type of chemical
reaction (oxidation-reduction) that
occurs in batteries. The zinc and copper
are called the electrodes, and the juice
THEORY
This model of the chemical reactions
makes several predictions that were
examined in experiments published by
Jerry Goodisman in 2001. Goodisman
notes that numerous recent authors
propose chemical reactions for the
lemon battery that involve dissolution of
the copper electrode into the electrolyte.
Goodisman excludes this reaction as
being inconsistent with the experiments,
and notes that the correct chemistry,

OBSERVATION
As soon as we connect the wires and put
the key on electricity generated by the fruit juice
flows through the clock, making the clock run in
case of salt water and coldrink. The clock does not
work when the rods are immersed in distilled water
as no current flows.
