Graphite Rods and MnO2 from used Carbon-Zinc Dry Cells

[72fr250]

Dollar Tree batteries (the red and silver ones) have carbon rods in the center, and it's one $1 for a pack of 3 D cells :D

i used a hammer and took all of the 4 cells and got the graphite out and took out 2 sticks out too! bad idea!

Reaction:

Zn(s) + 2MnO2(s) + 2NH4+(aq) → Mn2O3(s) + Zn(NH3)2 2+(aq) + H2O(l)

Zinc gives up electrons to manganese dioxide, in essence. :D
