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

MrMuchimi

Answer:

5400 cans

Explanation:

First we convert the total weight, 1 ton, to grams:

1ton=1x10^{6}g

Now we need to know the mass of aluminum:

m_{Al}=\frac{10^{6}*8.1}{100} =81000g

Now we make the relation between the mass of aluminum in 1 ton of the earth's crust and the mass of aluminum per can:

n=\frac{81000g}{15g/can} =5400cans

Use the question marck Moles of CO2
The the giving = 0.624 mol O2
Find the CF faction = 1 mole=  32.00 of O2

O= 2x16.00= 32.00amu ( writte this in the cf fraction)
SET UP THE CHART
Always start with the giving

0.624 mol O2    /  1mol of CO2
___________  / _____________ = Cancel the queal ( O2)
                       / 32.00c O2
                      /
                     /
Multiply the top and divide by the bottom 
0.624 mol CO x 1mol CO2 = 0.624 divide by 32.00 O2 =0.0195
You should look at the giving number ( how many num u gor ever there) 
Ur answer should have the same # as ur givin so 
= 0.0195 
= .0195 mol of CO2
