The button batteries in small devices like watches are commonly composed of silver-zinc or mercury-zinc batteries. The reaction in a mercury button battery is: HgO(s) + Zn(s) --> ZnO(s) + Hg(l) What is the line notation for a mercury button battery?

The mercury button battery line notation is:

        Zn⁰| Zn²|| , HgO| Hg⁰||

Explanation:

Mercury batteries either use

pure mercury(II) oxide (HgO)—which is called mercuric oxide

or a mixture of HgO with manganese dioxide (MnO2) which is as the cathode.

Anode has two half reactions:

The first step is an electrochemical reaction step:

Zn + 4OH− → Zn(OH)4−2 + 2e−[3]

cathode has a half reaction :

HgO + H2O + 2e− → Hg + 2OH−[3]

+0.0977 V  standard potential is of this reaction.

which is followed by a chemical reaction step:

Anode consists of oxidation:

Zn+2OH>ZnO+H2O+2e

which gives an overall anode half-reaction of:

Zn + 2OH− → ZnO + H2O + 2e−[3]

Therefore,

The overall reaction for the battery is:

Zn + HgO → ZnO + Hg

they all get energy from eating other animals, dead animals to be more precise.

hienas tends to steal pray from other animals. crows and vultures tend to eat dead animals and leftovers.
