A common car battery consists of six identical cells each of which carries out the reaction: Pb + PbO2 + 2HSO4- + 2H+ → 2PbSO4 +

2H2O Suppose that in starting a car on a cold morning a current of 350 amperes is drawn for 12.2 seconds from a cell of the type described above. How many grams of Pb would be consumed? (The atomic weight of Pb is 207.19.)

Answer:

The correct answer is 4.58 grams.

Explanation:

Based on the Faraday's law of electrolysis, at the time of electrolysis, the amount of deposited substance is directly equivalent to the concentration of the flow of charge all through the solution. If current, I, is passed for time, t, seconds and w is the concentration of the substance deposited, then w is directly proportional to I*t or w = zIt (Here z refers to the electrochemical equivalent or the amount deposited when 1 C is passed).  

For the reaction, n * 96500 C = molar mass

1C = molar mass/n*96500 = Equivalent wt / 96500

w = Equivalent wt / 96500 * I * t

In the given reaction,  

Pb + PbO2 + 2HSO4- + 2H+ → 2PbSO4 + 2H2O, n = 2, the current or I drawn is 350 A, for time, t 12.2 seconds.  

Now putting the values in the equation we get,  

w = 207.19 / 2 * 96500 * 350 * 12.2 ( The molecular weight of Pb is 207.19 and the equivalent weight of Pb is 207.19 / 2)

w = 4.58 gm.

Expiation : Note that these last two reactions, and 2H + 2H → 4He + γ, .Nuclear fusion is a reaction in which two nuclei are combined to form a larger nucleus. Nuclear fusion is a reaction in which two nuclei are combined, or fused, to form a larger nucleus. We know that all nuclei have less mass than the sum of the masses of the protons and neutrons that form them. The missing mass times c2 equals the binding energy of the nucleus—the greater the binding energy, the greater the missing mass.

The melting point of H₂O(s) is 0 °C. Would you expect the melting point of H₂S(s) to be 85 °C, 0 °C or -85 °C.? Justify your cho
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

-85 °C

Explanation:

O and S are in the same group( Group 16). Since S is below O it's atomic mass is higher than O. So molar mass of H2S is higher than H2O. The strength of Vanderwaal Interactions ( London dispersion forces) increases when the molar mass increases. However, only H2O can form H bonds with each other. This is because electronegativity of O is higher than S and therefore H in H2O has a higher partial positive charge than H of H2S.

H bond dominate among these 2 types of forces so the strength of attractions between molecules is higher in H2O than H2S. Therefore more energy should be supplied for H2O to break inter

molecular forces and convert from solid to liquid state than H2S. So mpt of H2O must be higher than that of H2S.

How does a ketone react with PCl5?,
Reptile [31]

When ketone is reacted with phosphorous pentachloride, chlorination takes place at the carbonyl carbon with substitution of the oxygen atom to give a geminal dichloride (with 2 Cl atoms on same carbon) according to the following equation: 

so we can say that acetone is converted into 2,2-dichloropropane by action of PCl₅
