A battery and a banana are the same when considering energy:

A battery when connected to a device produces electro-chemical reactions and contains one or more cells. The same thing can be tried out with fruits also. There are many fruits which can be taken into account. A lemon shows less amount of voltage when seen through a multimeter rather than a banana which shows a higher voltage. This was because of the acid present in the a fully ripped banana. The acid is called ascorbic acid. This acid has a higher pH level than compared to the pH of the citric acid found in lemon.

This shows that a banana plant is not so expensive and reliable for the production of renewable energy and a battery is also inexpensive, reliable and stable.

There are two binary compounds of mercury and oxygen. heating either of them results in the decomposition of the compound, with

grandymaker [24]

$\text{Hg} \text{O}$ and $\text{Hg}_{2} \text{O}$ .

Assuming complete decomposition of both samples,

$m(\text{Hg}) = m(\text{residure})$
$m(\text{O}) = m(\text{loss})$

First compound:

$m(\text{O}) = m(\text{loss}) = 0.6498 - 0.6018 = 0.048 \; g$
$m(\text{Hg}) = m(\text{residure}) = 0.6018 \; g$

$n = m/M$ ; $0.6498 \; g$ of the first compound would contain

$n(\text{O atoms}) = 0.048 \; g / 16 \; g \cdot mol^{-1}= 0.003 \; mol$
$n(\text{Hg atoms}) = 0.6018 \; g / 200.58 \; g \cdot mol^{-1}= 0.003 \; mol$

Oxygen and mercury atoms seemingly exist in the first compound at a $1:1$ ratio; thus the empirical formula for this compound would be $\text{Hg} \text{O}$ where the subscript "1" is omitted.
