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

If the first isotope has a mass of 259.98 amu and a percent abundance of 35%, what is the percent abundance of the second isotop
brilliants [131]
If it is assumed that there are only two isotopes then the percent abundance needs to add up to 100%

100-35= 65%

The second isotope will have a 65% abundance.

Examine the equation.
Alisiya [41]

Explanation:

The reaction expression is given as;

                 2H₂_{g}   +  O₂_{g}   →   2H₂O_{l}

From the balance reaction expression:

 2 mole of hydrogen gas combines with 1 mole of oxygen gas on the reactant side;

This produces 2 mole of water on the product side of the expression.

The product is in liquid form.

 This reaction is a synthesis reaction because a single product is formed from two reactants.
