When a lead acid car battery is recharged by the alternator, it acts essentially as an electrolytic cell in which solid lead(II)

sulfate PbSO4 is reduced to lead at the cathode and oxidized to solid lead(II) oxide PbO at the anode. Suppose a current of 96.0A is fed into a car battery for 37.0 seconds. Calculate the mass of lead deposited on the cathode of the battery. Round your answer to 3 significant digits. Also, be sure your answer contains a unit symbol.

Answer:

3.81 g Pb

Explanation:

When a lead acid car battery is recharged, the following half-reactions take place:

Cathode: PbSO₄(s) + H⁺ (aq) + 2e⁻ → Pb(s) + HSO₄⁻(aq)  

Anode: PbSO₄(s) + 2 H₂O(l) → PbO₂(s) + HSO₄⁻(aq) + 3H⁺ (aq) + 2e⁻

We can establish the following relations:

  • 1 A = 1 c/s
  • 1 mole of Pb(s) is deposited when 2 moles of e⁻ circulate.
  • The molar mass of Pb is 207.2 g/mol
  • 1 mol of e⁻ has a charge of 96468 c (Faraday's constant)

Suppose a current of 96.0A is fed into a car battery for 37.0 seconds. The mass of lead deposited is:

37.0s.\frac{96.0c}{s} .\frac{1mole^{-} }{96468c} .\frac{1molPb}{2mole^{-} } .\frac{207.2gPb}{1molPb} =3.81gPb

Calculate the molarity of a solution that contains 0.250 moles of kf in 0.500 l of water
MakcuM [25]
Molarity can be defined as the number of moles of solute in 1 L of solution.

M = n/V

Where M is the molarity of the solution (M or mol/L), n is the moles of the solute (mol) and V is the volume of the solution (L).

Here, solute is KF.

n = <span>0.250 mol
</span>V = 0.500 L
M = ?

By applying the formula,
   M = 0.250 mol / 0.500 L
   M = 0.500 mol/L

Hence, the molarity of KF solution is 0.500 mol/L.

In order for a cell to continue being efficient at exchanging materials, what must it do to maintain its surface-to-volume ratio
aksik [14]

Explanation:

It will have to change its form in order for the cell to focus on developing and retaining a viable, in order to be large and narrow as in the situation of the nerve cells or to build a more 'contoured' surface, that is, to establish microvillus.

If the pressure inside your ballon is 800mmHG ,and the gas is at body temperature,37 degree Celsius , calculate the number of gr
SpyIntel [72]
With all of the information given (pressure, volume, temperature, and the molar mass), we need a formula that relates this all together. The formula we need is the ideal gas law, PV=nRT. Since the pressure is defined in millimeters of mercury, we need the R value that correlates with this, which is 62.4; on top of this, we need the temperature in Kelvin - simply add 273.15 to convert from Celsius. With all of this information, simply plug-and-chug:

PV=nRT
(800)(3.7) = n(62.4)(37 + 273.15)
n = 0.1529 moles

Finally, the problem is asking the amount of air in grams. We have moles, so all we need to do is multiply that value by the molar mass.

0.1529 moles x 29 grams per mole =
4.435 grams of air

The balloon has 4.435 grams of air inside it.

Hope this helps!

The density of mercury is 13.6 g/mL what is the density in lbs/L ( 1 lb hint =0.454 kg )
Vesna [10]

Answer:

30.0\frac{lb}{L}

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since 454 g are equivalent to 1 pound and 1000 millilitres are equivalent to 1 liter, the required density is computed below by applying the corresponding conversion factor:

=13.6\frac{g}{mL} *\frac{1lb}{454g} *\frac{1000mL}{1L} \\\\=30.0\frac{lb}{L}

Regards.
