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

Convert mass to moles for both reactants. (Round to 2 significant figures.)
shepuryov [24]
Mass = mr x moles
Mr of CuCl2 = ( 63.5) + ( 35.5 x 2) = 134.5
2.5 = 134.5 x moles
2.5 / 134.5 = moles
Moles = 0.019 (2DP)

0.25g of Al
Mr of Al = 27
0.25 = 27 x moles
0.25/ 27 = 0.0093 moles (2sf)

Hope this helps :)

ICl has a higher boiling point than Br2. What is the best explanation for this?
Flura [38]
<span>The best answer is B. ICl experiences induced dipole-induced dipole interactions. Both iodine and chlorine belongs to the same group of the periodic table. Electronegativity decreases as you go down a group therefore Cl will have a greater attraction with the bond it forms with another atom. Dipole-dipole interactions form between I and Cl. For the Br2 molecule, no dipole occurs because they are two identical atoms. Therefore we will be expecting ICl will have a higher boiling point due to higher binding energy it forms.</span>

Gases A and B are confined to a cylinder and piston and react to form product C. As the reaction occurs, the system loses 1189 J
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

The change in the internal energy of the system -878 J

Explanation:

Given;

energy lost by the system due to heat, Q = -1189 J (negative because energy was lost by the system)

Work done on the system, W = -311 J (negative because work was done on the system)

change in internal energy of the system, Δ U = ?

First law of thermodynamics states that the change in internal energy of a system (ΔU) equals the net heat transfer into the system (Q) minus the net work done by the system (W).

ΔU = Q - W

ΔU = -1189 - (-311)

ΔU = -1189 + 311

ΔU = -878 J

Therefore, the change in the internal energy of the system -878 J
