Environmental problem with Silver oxide batteries? (1 Viewer)

[DAAVE]

Are there any???

Only thing i cant find info on? how are they safely disposed?

ALSO:

Is it sufficient to use the shorthand for a description of the cells?

IE:
Dry Cell:
Zn| (ZnCl2), NH4Cl | MnO2, C

Silver Oxide:

Zn, ZnO | KOH (paste) | Ag2O, Ag

???? Or do we have to be able to draw crappy diagrams?

silver is exensive, the environmental impact is little as they can be safely disposed of with household garbage

Na, but you would want to know the reduction and oxidation equations

"Na, but you would want to know the reduction and oxidation equations"

crap... more stuff to learn quickly....

You've got hours:
Anode: Zn + 2OH- ---> ZnO + H2O + 2e-
Cathode: Ag2O + H2O + 2e- ---> 2Ag + 2OH-
