I believe it is because the salt supports the weight of the egg
Answer:
Because the zinc is reluctant
Explanation:
A leclanche cell contains a conducting solution (electrolyte) of ammonium chloride, a cathode (positive terminal) of carbon, a depolarizer of manganese dioxide (oxidizer), and an anode (negative terminal) of zinc (reductant).
As the Zn2+ ions move away from the anode, leaving their electrons on its surface,
Zn → Zn2+ + 2e−
the anode becomes more negatively charged than the cathode. When the cell is connected to an external electrical circuit, the excess electrons on the zinc anode flow through the circuit to the carbon rod, the movement of electrons forming an electric current.
Via the half-life equation:
Where the time elapse is 11,460 year and the half-life is 5,730 years.
Therefore after 11,460 years the amount of carbon-14 is one fourth (1/4) of the original amount.
