Write the balanced half-reaction in basic conditions that occurs at the cathode in a nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) battery during discharge. Phases are optional. Use M to represent the metal alloy and MH to represent the metal hydride if applicable to this half-reaction.
cathode half-reaction: NiO(OH) + H2O + e- → Ni(OH)2 + OH-
Write the balanced overall cell reaction that occurs in the nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) battery during discharge. Phases are optional. Use M to represent the metal alloy and MH to represent the metal hydride.
overall cell reaction: MH + NiO(OH) → M + Ni(OH)2
