Perhaps it would be possible to replace an alkaline battery with a lead acid battery of the same voltage and current capacity. BUT the construction, size, and chemistry of the two types are totally different.

Are ingejestion tablets a acid or alkaline?

indigestion tablets are alkaline. this is because indigestion is caused by the acids in your stomach not 'behaving' so if you add alkaline to it then the acid will be cancelled out.


What is in a AAA alkaline battery?

An AAA alkaline battery typically contains a zinc anode, manganese dioxide cathode, and potassium hydroxide electrolyte. These components work together to generate electricity by a chemical reaction within the battery.


Which acid is used in lead acid battery?

Traditionally, sulphuric acid is used at a strength of around 30-38%. However amazingly, a lead acid battery can be emptied of acid, neutralised with something like sodium bicarbonate and then filled with a solution of distilled water and sodium aluminium sulphate. This (astoundlingly I think) can work even better than conventional acid. I am not sure of the chemistry going on when this is done, but should you be interested, googling for somethnig like : lead acid sodium aluminium sulphate - ought to yield results for further study. Anyway, to recap, the traditional acid on a lead acide battery is roughly 35% sulphuric acid. Ok I think it is Alkine coz any time i c a battery it says alkine sorry if its not the info you need


How do rechargeable alkaline manganese batteries work?

Rechargeable alkaline manganese batteries work by using a reversible chemical reaction between manganese dioxide and zinc to store and release electrical energy. When the battery is discharged, zinc from the anode reacts with manganese dioxide at the cathode to produce electricity. When the battery is recharged, an external electrical current is applied to reverse the chemical reactions, allowing the battery to be used multiple times.


How do alkaline batteries work to power electronic devices?

Alkaline batteries work by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. The battery contains an alkaline electrolyte, typically potassium hydroxide, which reacts with a zinc anode and a manganese dioxide cathode to generate electricity. This flow of electrons powers the electronic device connected to the battery.

Are antacids a acid or alkali?

Antacids work against acids. If you were to add an acid to an acid you would just make more acid. They are therefore alkaline.

How lead acid batteries work?

A lead acid battery works by using different positive and negative plates with grids that sit together in electrolytes produced by diluted sulfuric acid. This converts the electric energy into potential chemical energy, and then back again.A 12 voltlead acid battery is actually made up of six identical 2 volt cells. Each cell contains lead plates of different compositions sitting in dilute sulphuric acid. Lead dioxide plates (linked to the positive terminal of the battery) react with the acid to form lead sulphate giving up electrons (leaving the plate positive). The pure lead plates (linked to the negative terminal of the battery) react with the sulphate ions to also form lead sulphate. The pure lead plates therefore supply two positive charges and so are left negative. The passage of electons from the lead oxide plates to the pure lead plates is the current of electricity generated by the cell which can be used.


Can you use damaged car battery?

It really depends on how the battery is damaged. Generally, you cannot use a damaged battery for the following reason: Batteries contain lead and liquid acid. If the battery case is damaged, acid will spill from the affected cells of the battery and those cells will not function. Since the cells of a lead acid battery are connected in series, failure of any one cell means failure of the entire battery. If the damage is limited to the battery posts, the battery can sometimes be made to work by various means of tightening the cable clamps to the posts. This is a temporary fix that can be used in a pinch and it should be repaired properly as soon as possible.


How do you get battery acid?

Battery acid is a solution of sulfuric acid and water found in lead-acid batteries. Avoid direct exposure to battery acid as it can be corrosive and harmful to skin, eyes, and clothing. If you need to handle battery acid, use proper safety equipment like gloves and goggles, work in a well-ventilated area, and follow safety guidelines for handling hazardous substances.
