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

Alkynes have what in<br> common with alkenes ?
jonny [76]

Answer:

Alkanes, alkenes and alkynes are simple hydrocarbon chains with no functional groups. Alkanes are identified because the carbon chain has only single bonds. Alkenes have at least one double bond and alkynes have at least one triple bond. The most common alkyne is ethyne, better known as acetylene.

If you start with 6 moles of N2 and 6 moles of H2 (meaning you won't have enough of 1 of the ingredients), how many moles of NH3
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

4molNH_3

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given information it will be firstly necessary to set up the chemical equation taking place:

N_2+3H_3\rightarrow 2NH_3

We infer we need to calculate the moles of NH3 by using both of the moles of N2 and H2 at the beginning, in order to identify the limiting reactant:

n_{NH_3}=6molN_2*\frac{2molNH_3}{1molN_2}=12molNH_3\\\\ n_{NH_3}=6molH_2*\frac{2molNH_3}{3molH_2}=4molNH_3\\

Thus, since hydrogen yields the fewest moles of ammonia, we conclude that we are just able to yield 4 moles of NH3.

Regards!

Which group (give the number) is characterized by 5 valence electrons in the configuration<br> s²p3?
Ivahew [28]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

Group 5A

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • Elements in the periodic table are arranged into columns known as groups and rows known as periods.
  • Elements in the same group share similar chemical properties.
  • For example, elements in group 5A have five valence electrons with the most high energy level with a configuration of s²p³.
  • Elements in group 5A include nitrogen and phosphorus among others.
