It can be used wherein low power consumption is the highest priority.
If kept unused, it lasts up to a period of 6 years.
Its cost is cheap.
Smaller in size which makes it flexible to use in many applications.

What are electrodes made out of?
The positive electrode is a graphite rod (elemental carbon).
Explain why a lithium cadmium battery is more expensive than a zinc carbon battery?
Zinc and carbon are widely available and relatively cheap. Cadmium is a toxic metal and waste streams are expensive to treat. Lithium is very reactive and more expensive to extract. So raw material costs/handling costs are higher for Lithium Cadmium
What type of reaction is this 2ZnO plus C gives 2Zn plus CO2?
This is an oxidation-reduction reaction. The carbon reduces the zinc oxide to zinc and the zinc oxide oxidises the carbon to carbon dioxide. It can also be called a displacement reaction, as the carbon displaces the zinc from its oxide.
What is a metallic element which serves as a negative pole in the common flashlight battery?
Zinc
How many elements are there in zinc carbonate?
ZnCO3 Zinc,Carbon and Oxygen
What type of battery is 1.5 volts?
carbon zinc
What type and form does a battery have when its not being used?
i think it is zinc- carbon
What is carbon rod connected to the negative terminal of the battery?
The negative terminal of a carbon/zinc cell is connected to the zinc cup that functions as the cathode. The carbon rod is the anode (positive).
What element is in center electron post of a battery?
We find carbon or graphite as the center electrode of a zinc-carbon battery. It's the "common" battery we use in lots of stuff (but not an alkaline battery). That center electrode is the positive one, and the zinc makes up the outer or negative electrode in this battery. In an alkaline battery, manganese dioxide is the center, or the cathode (positive electrode). Powdered zinc will be found as the outer or negative electrode (anode).
What are batteries recycled into?
1. Carbon zinc Battery 2. Alkaline Battery 3. Mercury Battery 4. Lithium Battery
What is in a AAA alkaline battery?
AAA type alkaline battery is a carbon-zinc battery; the tension is 1,5 V. The electrolyte is ammonium chloride as a paste.
What does a battery have in it?
That depends on the type of battery. Some common combination: Zinc Chloride and carbon Lead and hydrochloric acid Lithium and polymer(varies)
What is the one type of handy voltaic cell consisting of a zinc container which acts as the anode and a carbon cathode?
battery
What are electrodes made out of?
The positive electrode is a graphite rod (elemental carbon).
What Are Zinc Carbon Batteries used for?
It is a battery that many put in remote controls and/or something that is used for flashlights. The usual zinc-carbon battery consists essentially of one Zinkcup in which a thickened Salmiaksevering (NH4Cl) and Braunstein (MnO2) are filled. The thickened pulp - called the Battery hence dry battery - is a charcoal pencil. The voltage of a fresh Zn-C cell is 1.5 V.
What is one of the chemicals in a battery?
This varies depending on the specific battery "chemistry" used.the old carbon-zinc batteries used - carbon, zinc-mercury alloy (with iron grains contamination in the zinc), zinc chloride paste, water, manganese dioxide (to suppress hydrogen gas formation), porous paper separatormodern alkaline batteries use - carbon, zinc, potassium hydroxide paste, water, manganese dioxide (to suppress hydrogen gas formation), porous paper separatorlead-acid batteries use - lead, sulphuric acid, waternickel cadmium batteries - nickel oxide hydroxide, cadmium, potassium hydroxide paste, water, porous paper separatorlithium manganese batteries - lithium, manganese dioxide, lithium perchlorate paste, propylene carbonate, propylene dimethoxyethane, porous paper separatorlithium ion batteries - lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide, carbon, lithium perchlorate paste, ethylene carbonate, porous paper separatoretc,
Why is it possible for alkaline batteries to be smaller than zinc-carbon dry cells?
A battery can actually be made into any size, but very small batteries would be drained in a matter of seconds and are thus useless. Since zinc-carbon batteries contain less electrical energy per volume compared to an alkaline battery they are normally used for the larger sizes of batteries. Rayovac has published a graph where the zinc-carbon and alkaline batteries have been compared. It shows that the alkaline battery works just as good after 17 hours of use as the zinc-carbon battery does after only 8 hours of use. (http://www.rayovac.com/technical/pdfs/pg_battery.pdf) Eurobatt claims that alkaline batteries can have 4-15 times longer lifetime than the zinc-carbon type. But it isn't mentioned under what type of conditions this is. (http://www.eurobatt.net/index7201.html?page=213&l=1)
