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

A concentrated aqueous solution of Pb(NO3)2 is slowly added to 1.0 L of a mixed aqueous solution containing 0.010 M Na2CrO4 and
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

This means the amount of PbCrO4 will precipitate first, with a [Pb^2+] concentration of 1.8*10^-12 M

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Molarity of Na2CrO4 = 0.010 M

Molarity of NaBr = 2.5 M

Ksp(PbCrO4) = 1.8 * 10^–14

Ksp(PbBr2) = 6.3 * 10^–6

Step 2: The balanced equation

PbCrO4 →Pb^2+ + CrO4^2-

PbBr2  → Pb^2+ + 2Br-

Step 3: Define Ksp

Ksp PbCrO4 = [Pb^2+]*[CrO4^2-]

1.8*10^-14 = [Pb^2+] * 0.010 M

[Pb^2+] = 1.8*10^-14 /0.010

[Pb^2+] = 1.8*10^-12 M

The minimum [Pb^2+] needed to precipitate PbCrO4 is 1.8*10^-12 M

Ksp PbBr2 = [Pb^2+][Br-]²

6.3 * 10^–6 = [Pb^2+] (2.5)²

[Pb^2+] = 1*10^-6 M

The minimum [Pb^2+] needed to precipitate PbBr2 is 1*10^-6 M

This means the amount of PbCrO4 will precipitate first, with a [Pb^2+] concentration of 1.8*10^-12 M

Given the equation representing a reversible reaction:
tester [92]

Answer:

- Acetic acid (CH₃COOH) and hydronium ion (H₃O⁺)

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, based on the acid-base theory which states that acids are known as H⁺ donors, if we consider the direct reaction:

CH_3COOH(aq) + H_2O \rightarrow CH_3COO^-(aq) + H_3O^+(aq)

It is clear that the acetic acid is the first H⁺ donor as it losses one H⁺ to turn into the acetate ion. Moreover, if we consider the inverse reaction:

CH_3COO^-(aq) + H_3O^+(aq)\rightarrow CH_3COOH(aq) + H_2O

It is also clear that the hydronium ion is the second H⁺ donor as it losses one H⁺ to turn into water.

Best regards.

A substance that produces hydroxide ions when placed in water is a(n) _____.
bekas [8.4K]

Answer: A substance that produces hydroxide ions when placed in water is base.

Explanation:

Bases are the substance:

  • Which gives negatively charged hydroxide(OH^-) ions in aqueous solution.
  • Which have pH value ranging from 7 to 14.
  • BOH(aq)\rightarrow B^+(aq)+OH^-(aq)

Where as acid gives positively charged hydronium ion(H^+) in aqueous solution.

Do metals form are anions or cations?
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer: Metals form cations.

The alkali metals (the IA elements) lose a single electron to form a cation with a 1+ charge.

The alkaline earth metals (IIA elements) lose two electrons to form a 2+ cation.

Aluminum, a member of the IIIA family, loses three electrons to form a 3+ cation.

Therefore, metals in the s and p block of the periodic table have 1, 2 or 3 electrons in their outermost orbit (or valence shell). Now to gain a stable octet metals lose either 1, 2 or 3 electrons from the valence shell thus forming cation with +1, +2 or +3 charge.

The following balanced equation describes the reduction of iron(III) oxide to molten iron within a blast furnace: Fe2O3(s) + 3CO
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

Amount of excess Carbon (ii) oxide left over = 23.75 g

Explanation:

Equation of the reaction: Fe₂O₃ + 3CO ----> 2Fe + 3CO₂

Molar mass of Fe₂O₃ = 160 g/mol;

Molar mass of Carbon (ii) oxide = 28 g/mol

From the equation of reaction, 1 mole of Fe₂O₃ reacts with 3 moles of carbon (ii) oxide; i.e. 160 g of iron (iii) oxide reacts with 84 g (3 * 28 g)  of carbon (ii) oxide

450 g of Fe₂O₃ will react with 450 * 84/180) g of carbon (ii) oxide = 236..25 g of carbon (ii) oxide

Therefore the excess reactant is carbon (ii) oxide.

Amount of excess Carbon (ii) oxide left over = 260 - 236.25

Amount of excess Carbon (ii) oxide left over = 23.75 g
