a battery produces a current in a wire. as the current continues which of the following quantities (perhaps more than one) decreases? the positive charge in the battery, the emf of the battery, the chemical energy in the battery
Added by Amanda W.
Step 1
The battery provides electromotive force (emf) and supplies current by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. Show more…

A standard voltaic cell runs. It "discharges and the cell potential decreases with time. Which of these best explains why? The cell potential is dependent on the concentrations of the products, and as the concentrations decrease, the potential decreases. The cell potential is dependent on the concentrations of the reactants, and as the concentrations decrease, the potential increases. The cell potential is dependent on the concentrations of the reactants, and as the concentrations increase, the potential decreases. The cell potential is dependent on the concentrations of the products, and as the concentrations increase, the potential decreases. The cell potential is dependent on the concentrations of the reactants, and as the concentrations decrease, the potential decreases.
