hayyyy!
im just doing my research for the structure and chemistry of a dry cell....im doing the silver oxide button cell!
just need some clarification on the half equation at the anode....im gettin mixed answer for this.....ive got
Zn + 2OH- ............> Zn + H20 + 2e
OR
Zn + 2OH- .......................> Zn(OH)2 + 2e (currently using this one)
would anyone be able to clear up which one is the correct half-equation???
if im using the wrong one then my final redox equation will be wrong too....thankyou to anyone who can clear this up![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
