Question

Solids used as these materials include the garnet LLZO. Ideally, these materials have high transference numbers, wide stability windows, and don’t form dendrites at solid interfaces. These substances are rated by a quantity symbolized capital lambda and measured in siemens meters squared per mole. An ammonium chloride paste acts as this component to separate a carbon rod from the zinc casing (20[1])in a dry (*) cell. In a device named for these liquids, the mass plated is proportional to current over Faraday’s constant. (10[1])The anode and cathode are dunked in these liquids (10[2])in both galvanic cells (10[1])and (10[1])in non-spontaneous cells (10[1])named for these salty solutions. (10[2])For 10 points, name these (10[1])conductive materials used in batteries and consumed in sports (10[1])drinks. (10[4])■END■ (10[20])

ANSWER: electrolytes [or strong electrolytes or weak electrolytes; or solid electrolytes; or electrolytic cells; prompt on conductor; prompt on solution or solvents or salt solutions or saline or salt until “salty solutions” is read; prompt on ionic liquids or ILs; prompt on battery or batteries or voltaic cells or cells with “Which component?”]
