Question
Chapter 14, Problem 14E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The Leclanche dry cell or inexpensive battery is to be described by using a chemical equation. An alkaline battery is different from the Leclanche dry cell, is to discussed.
Concept introduction:
Oxidation is the addition of an electronegative element or the removal of an electropositive element in a
Reduction is the addition of an electropositive element or the removal of an electronegative element in a chemical reaction.
Leclanche dry cell, is produced in great quantities and is widely used in devices such as flashlights and portable radios.
The Leclanche dry cell or flashlight battery is called ‘dry’ because there is no liquid present.
