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 62.0 is fed into a car battery for 23.0 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: The mass of lead deposited on the cathode of the battery is 1.523 g.

Explanation:

Given: Current = 62.0 A

Time = 23.0 sec

Formula used to calculate charge is as follows.

Q = I \times t

where,

Q = charge

I = current

t = time

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

Q = I \times t\\= 62.0 A \times 23.0 sec\\= 1426 C

It is known that 1 mole of a substance tends to deposit a charge of 96500 C. Therefore, number of moles obtained by 1426 C of charge is as follows.

Moles = \frac{1426 C}{96500 C/mol}\\= 0.0147 mol

The oxidation state of Pb in PbSO_{4} is 2. So, moles deposited by Pb is as follows.

Moles of Pb = \frac{0.0147}{2}\\= 0.00735 mol

It is known that molar mass of lead (Pb) is 207.2 g/mol. Now, mass of lead is calculated as follows.

No. of moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}\\ 0.00735 = \frac{mass}{207.2 g/mol}\\mass = 1.523 g

Thus, we can conclude that the mass of lead deposited on the cathode of the battery is 1.523 g.

How many total ions are present in 347g of cacl2?
vladimir1956 [14]

In 1 mole of CaCl_{2}, there are 3 moles of ions, 1 mole of Ca^{2+} and 2 mole of Cl^{-1}.

CaCl_{2}\rightarrow Ca^{2+}+2Cl^{-}

Molar mass of CaCl_{2} is 110.98 g/mol. Calculating number of moles from given mass as follows:

n=\frac{m}{M}=\frac{347 g}{110.98 g/mol}=3.12 mol

Thus, number of moles of ions will be 3\times 3.12 mol=9.38 mol.

Since, 1 mole of any substance has 6.023\times 10^{23} units of that substance where 6.023\times 10^{23}  is Avogadro's number.

Thus, 9.38 mol of ions will have 9.38\times 6.023\times 10^{23}=5.65\times 10^{24} number of ions.

Therefore, total number of ions in 347 g of CaCl_{2} is  5.65\times 10^{24}.

What is the mass (in grams) of 5.00 L of NH₃ at STP?
kupik [55]

Answer:

3.79 grams

Explanation:

22.4= STP volume .          Molar mass of NH3=17.031

5.00 NH3 × (1 mol/22.4 L) =0.223

convert to grams->

0.223× 17.031= 3.79

What is the Lewis dot structure for N2
labwork [276]

Answer: Image result for What is the Lewis dot structure for N2socratic.org

Transcript: For the N2 Lewis structure, we have five valence electrons for Nitrogen--it's in group 5 or 15 on the periodic table. We have two Nitrogens. Multiply those together, we have a total of 10 valence electrons for the N2 Lewis structure.
