How about putting one battery in the freezer while putting another by a radiator or something that gives off heat. Leave them for an hour, then place them in an object that uses batteries and time how long it takes for it to die: Note: It may take many hours for the battery to fully deplete.
OH- is common to bases.
Explanation:
The base is a is an ionic compounds which when placed in aqueous solution dissociates in to a cation and an anion OH-.
The presence of OH- in the solution shows that the solution is basic or alkaline.
From Bronsted and Lowry concept base is a molecule that accepts a proton for example in NaOH, Na is a proton donor and OH is the proton acceptor.
A base accepts hydrogen ion and the concentration of OH is always higher in base.
There is a presence of conjugate acid and conjugate base in the Bronsted and Lowry acid and base.
Conjugate acid is one which is formed when a base gained a proton.
Conjugate base is one which is formed when an acid looses a proton.
And from the Arrhenius base Theory, the base is one that dissociates in to water as OH-.
