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.

Given the following information, what is the concentration of H2O(g) at equilibrium? [H2S](eq) = 0.671 M [O2](eq) = 0.587 M Kc =
MAVERICK [17]

<u>Answer:</u> The equilibrium concentration of water is 0.597 M

<u>Explanation:</u>

Equilibrium constant in terms of concentration is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants each raised to the power their stoichiometric ratios. It is expressed as K_{c}

For a general chemical reaction:

aA+bB\rightleftharpoons cC+dD

The expression for K_{eq} is written as:

K_{c}=\frac{[C]^c[D]^d}{[A]^a[B]^b}

The concentration of pure solids and pure liquids are taken as 1 in the expression.

For the given chemical reaction:

2H_2S(g)+O_2(g)\rightleftharpoons 2S(s)+2H_2O(g)

The expression of K_c for above equation is:

K_c=\frac{[H_2O]^2}{[H_2S]^2\times [O_2]}

We are given:

[H_2S]_{eq}=0.671M

[O_2]_{eq}=0.587M

K_c=1.35

Putting values in above expression, we get:

1.35=\frac{[H_2O]^2}{(0.671)^2\times 0.587}

[H_2O]=\sqrt{(1.35\times 0.671\times 0.671\times 0.587)}=0.597M

Hence, the equilibrium concentration of water is 0.597 M

At 25°C, K = 0.090 for the following reaction. H2O(g) + Cl2O(g) equilibrium reaction arrow 2 HOCl(g) Calculate the concentration
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

  • [HOCl] = 0.00909 mol/liter
  • [H₂O] = 0.03901 mol/liter
  • [Cl₂O] = 0.02351 mol/liter

Explanation:

<u />

<u>1. Chemical reaction:</u>

H_2O(g)+Cl_2O(g)\rightleftharpoons 2 HOCl(g)

<u>2. Initial concentrations:</u>

i) 1.3 g H₂O

  • Number of moles = 1.3g / (18.015g/mol) = 0.07216 mol
  • Molarity, M = 0.07216 mol / 1.5 liter = 0.0481 mol/liter

ii) 2.2 g Cl₂O

  • Number of moles = 2.2 g/ (67.45 g/mol) = 0.0326 mol
  • Molarity = 0.0326mol / 1.5 liter = 0.0217 mol/liter

<u>3. ICE (Initial, Change, Equilibrium) table</u>

            H_2O(g)+Cl_2O(g)\rightleftharpoons 2 HOCl(g)

I            0.0481      0.0326            0

C              -x                 -x              +x

E          0.0481-x    0.0326-x         x

<u />

<u>4. Equilibrium expression</u>

       K_c=\dfrac{[HOCl]^2}{[H_2O].[Cl_2O]}

     0.09=\dfrac{x^2}{(0.0481-x)(0.0326-x)}

<u />

<u>5. Solve:</u>

            x^2=0.09(x-0.0481)(x-0.0326)\\\\0.91x^2+0.007263x-0.000141125=0

Use the quadatic formula:

x=\dfrac{-0.007263\pm \sqrt{(0.007263)^2-4(0.91)(-0.000141125)}}{2(0.91)}

The positive result is x = 0.00909

Thus the concentrations are:

  • [HOCl] = 0.00909 mol/liter
  • [H₂O] = 0.0481 - 0.00909 = 0.03901 mol/liter
  • [Cl₂O] = 0.0326 - 0.00909 = 0.02351 mol/liter

A cylinder, with a piston pressing down with a constant pressure, is filled with 2.10 moles of a gas (n1), and its volume is 46.
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

The volume is  V_2 =15.33 \  L

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The number of moles of the gas is  n_1 = 2.10 \  moles

      The volume of the gas is  V  =  46.0 \  L

        The  of moles of the gas that leaked is  n_2 =  0.700 \  mol

Generally from the ideal gas law

      PV  =  nRT        

Generally at constant pressure and temperature

        \frac{V}{n}  =  constant

So   \frac{V_1 }{n_1}  = \frac{V_2 }{n_2}

=>    V_2 = \frac{ V_1 *  n_2 }{ n_1}

=>    V_2 = \frac{  46.0 *  0.700  }{ 2.10 }  

=>    V_2 =15.33 \  L
