Electrochemistry is the branch of chemistry that studies the relationship between electricity and chemical reactions. A galvanic cell (or voltaic cell) is an electrochemical cell that converts chemical energy into electrical energy through a spontaneous redox reaction. In this experiment, we will use a lemon or potato as an electrolyte to create a simple battery. The lemon or potato contains natural acids (citric acid or phosphoric acid) that allow the movement of ions. When a zinc nail (anode) and a copper coin (cathode) are inserted into the lemon or potato, they act as electrodes. The chemical reaction between the metals and the electrolyte generates a small electric current, which can be used to power an LED or a buzzer.
