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 is a metallic element which serves as a negative pole in the common flashlight battery?
The metallic element that serves as the negative pole in a common flashlight battery is zinc.
Is a mercury cell a type of alkaline cell or a carbon zinc cell?
A mercury cell is neither a type of alkaline cell nor a carbon-zinc cell. It is a specific type of primary battery that uses mercury oxide as the active material, providing a stable voltage and long shelf life. Unlike alkaline cells, which use potassium hydroxide as the electrolyte, and carbon-zinc cells, which use a zinc anode and carbon cathode with an acidic electrolyte, mercury cells have distinct chemical compositions and applications.
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.
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 metal is used in a flashlight battery?
The metal used in a flashlight battery is typically zinc. Zinc-carbon batteries and alkaline batteries are common types of batteries used in flashlights, both of which contain zinc as a key component in their construction.
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).
Why is zinc important to power a clock?
Zinc is important for powering a clock because it is commonly used in a zinc-carbon battery, which is a type of dry cell battery. The chemical reaction between the zinc and manganese dioxide in the battery generates electricity to power the clock's movement.
What are batteries recycled into?
1. Carbon zinc Battery 2. Alkaline Battery 3. Mercury Battery 4. Lithium Battery
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 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.
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,
