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 17.0A is fed into a car battery for 15.0 seconds. Calculate the mass of lead deposited on the cathode of the battery. Be sure your answer has a unit symbol and the correct number of significant digits.

Answer:

0.273504 grams

Explanation:

Charge Deposited = Current ×Time

q=It

Given: I= 17.0A, t= 15.0 seconds

Q= 17×15= 255 C

Since, 1 mole contains 96500C of charge deposition

Therefore, number of moles = 255/96500 = 0.00264 moles

Moreover, since Pb changes to Pb2+,

Hence number of moles of Pb deposited = 0.00264/2

= 0.00132

Also, Molar mass of Lead = 207.2 gm/mol

Therefore, the mass of lead deposited = 0.00132×207.2 = 0.273504 grams

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

Ozone layer depletion is the thinning of the ozone layer present in the upper atmosphere. This happens when the chlorine and bromine atoms in the atmosphere come in contact with ozone and destroy the ozone molecules. One chlorine can destroy 100,000 molecules of ozone. It is destroyed more quickly than it is created

Calculate the number of grams of CO that can react with 0.400 kg of Fe2O3.
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

mass of CO = 210.42 g

mass in three significant figures = 210. g

Explanation:

Given data:

mass of Fe2O3 = 0.400 Kg

mass of CO= ?

Solution:

chemical equation:

Fe2O3 + 3CO → 2Fe + 3CO2

Now we will calculate the molar mass of  Fe2O3 and CO.

Molar mass of  Fe2O3 = (55.845 × 2) + (16 × 3) = 159.69 g/mol

Molar mass of CO = 12+ 16 = 28 g/mol

now we will convert the kg of Fe2O3 in g.

mass of Fe2O3 = 0.400 kg × 1000 = 400 g

number of moles of Fe2O3  = 400 g/ 159.69 g/mol = 2.505 mol

mass of CO = moles of Fe2O3 × 3( molar mass of CO)

mass of CO = 2.505 mol × 84 g/mol

mass of CO = 210.42 g

mass in three significant figures = 210. g
