Describe a voltaic cell using this reaction. What are the half
reactions?
19.39 A silver oxide-zinc cell maintains a fairly constant
voltage during discharge (1.60 V). The button form of this cel
is used in watches, hearing aids, and other electronic devices.
The half-reactions are
Zn(s) + 20H (aq)
Ag,0(s) + H2O(1) + 2e
Zn(OH)2(s) + 2e
2Ag(s) + 20H (aq)
