In this experiment‚ we have silver oxide and by using a bunsen burner‚ we will drive off all of the oxygen in the compound. We will do this by heating the silver oxide until the substance’s mass stays constant to know when all of the oxygen possible has been driven out. This process will occur through a series of heating and remassing. Silver oxide has many uses from batteries to military purposes. In a silver-zinc battery‚ silver oxide acts as the cathode and zinc as the anode. This battery is
