Uses of zinc?
Zinc is an important ingredient in traditional dry cell batteries and is also widely used to cover steel to reduce corrosion of the steel by sacrificial corrosion of the zinc instead. The latter effect may be achieved by cathodic protection as well as by direct contact between steel and zinc.
Does black pepper contain zinc?
Black Pepper Imported From India Doesn't Contain any Zinc or Chemical.
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)
Why is zinc important to power a clock?
As one of the constituents in common batteries.
How many grams of zinc contain 6x10 to the powe of 23 atoms?
About 65 g of Zinc contain this much atoms.
What is the coolest fact of zinc?
Zinc is one of several metals which can grow whiskers. Sometimes these metal whiskers, called dendrites, can cause short circuits in zinc-containing batteries and in electronics that contain zinc.
Is zinc a fuel?
yes, in someways. Zinc can be the fuel for some batteries.
What d-block element is in batteries?
Zinc.
Do batteries contain silicon?
Electrical batteries don't contain silicon.
What is difference between lr20 and r20 batteries?
R20 are zinc-carbon batteries, whereas LR20 are alkaline batteries.
What batteries contain Mercury?
Originally mercury was amalgamated with the zinc in carbon-zinc dry cell batteries because the zinc was contaminated with tiny iron granules. As the zinc corroded away in the electrochemical process of the battery producing electric current these iron granules would surface and become exposed to the electrolyte producing local shorted iron-zinc "batteries" that would cause the zinc to rapidly corrode through and the battery to leak electrolyte out its side through these holes. The mercury added to the zinc would envelope these iron granules, preventing them from contacting the electrolyte and thus greatly extending battery life. When alkaline dry cell batteries replaced the original acid carbon-zinc dry cell batteries, as they were still using carbon and zinc electrodes mercury was still amalgamated with the zinc to extend battery life as the zinc was still contaminated with tiny iron granules. However when it became a priority for dry cell companies to eliminate toxic materials like mercury from their batteries, the solution was to use more expensive high purity zinc with lower iron contamination levels so that less mercury would be needed. As the goal is to eventually completely eliminate all of the mercury, it will eventually be necessary for them to use zinc that is completely iron free. An entirely different class of batteries, the mercuric oxide-zinc battery and the mercuric oxide-cadmium battery used mercuric oxide for one of the electrodes. Such batteries offered many advantages over carbon-zinc (both acid and alkaline versions) batteries and were widely used from 1942 until 1992 and were ultimately banned by 1996.

What is made out zinc?
batteries are made out of zinc just like the tool doctors use to hear your heart zinc is in cereal and other foods
Is zinc a pure metal?
As a chemical element zinc contain only zinc atoms.
What were the early batteries made of?
Copper and Zinc, separated by a electrolyte.
What are some interasting facts about zinc?
It is used to make batteries.
