During the discharge of a lead storage battery, the density of `40% H_(2)SO_(4)` by weight fell from `1.225 ` to `0.98 (` which is `20%` by weight `).` What is the change in molarities of `H_(2)SO_(4)`?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
3
Discharging reaction `:`

`M_(1)=(% by weight xx 10xxd)/(Mw_(2))=(40xx1.225xx10)/(98)=5M`
`M_(2)=(% by weight xx10xxd)/(Mw_(2))=(20xx10xx0.98)/(98)=2M`
Change is molarities `=M_(1)-M_(2)=52=3M`

During the discharge of a lead storage battery the density of H_(2)SO_(4) talls from rho_(1)g//cc to rho_(2)g//C , H_(2)SO_(4) of density of rho_(1)g//C . C is X% by weight and tat of density fo rho_(2)gc.c is Y% by weight. The battery holds V litre of acid before discharging. Calculate te total charge released at anode of the battery. The reactions occurring during discharging are ltbr. At anode: Pb+SO_(4)^(2-)toPbSO_(4)+2e^(-) At cathode: PbO_(2)+4H^(+)+SO_(4)^(2-)+2e^(-)toPbSO_(4)+2H_(2)O
