1. battery, bunsen
A two fluid porous cell battery. The negative plate is carbon, the positive plate, amalgamated zinc. The depolarizer is nitric acid or electropoion fluid, q.v., in which the carbon is immersed. The last named depolarizer or some equivalent chromic acid depolarizing mixture is now universally used. The excitant is a dilute solution of sulphuric acid. Originally the carbon was made cylindrical in shape and surrounded the porous cups, in which the zinc was placed. This disposition is now generally reversed. The electro-motive force is 1.9 volts. The depolarizing solution is placed in the compartment with the carbon. The excitant surrounds the zinc.
