In the button cells widely used in watches and other devices, the following reaction takes place:
\[\ce{Zn_{(s)} + Ag2O_{(s)} + H2O_{(l)} -> Zn^{2+}_{( aq)} + 2Ag_{(s)} + 2OH^-_{( aq)}}\]
Determine ΔrGΘ and EΘ for the reaction.
Without losing its concentration; ZnCl2 solution cannot be kept in contact with
