The lead-acid storage battery is the oldest rechargeable battery in existence. It was invented in 1859 by French physician Gaston Plante and still retains application today, more than 150 years later. There are two reactions that take place during discharge of the lead-acid storage battery. In one step, sulfuric acid decomposes to form sulfur trioxide and water: H2SO4 (l) → SO3 (g) + H2O (l) ΔH=+113.kJ In another step, lead, lead(IV) oxide, and sulfur trioxide react to form lead(II) sulfate: Pb (s) + PbO2 (s) + 2SO3 (g) → 2PbSO4 (s) ΔH=−775.kJ Calculate the net change in enthalpy for the formation of one mole of lead(II) sulfate from lead, lead(IV) oxide, and sulfuric acid from these reactions. Round your answer to the nearest kJ .

-275 kJ

Explanation:

We could use the two reactions outlined below to obtain the enthalpy change for the formation of lead sulphate following the Hess law of constant heat summation.

H₂SO₄(l) → SO₃(g) + H₂O (l) ΔH=+113kJ    Reaction 1

Pb(s) + PbO₂(s) + 2SO₃(g) → 2PbSO₄(s) ΔH=−775kJ      Reaction 2

The sum of reaction 1 and  half of reaction 2 yields:

H₂SO₄(l) + ¹/₂Pb(s) + ¹/₂PbO₂(s)  → PbSO₄(s) + H₂O(l)

Applying Hess law of constant heat summation;

ΔHreaction = ΔH(1) + ¹/₂ΔH(2)

ΔHreaction = +113kJ +  ¹/₂ (-775kJ)

ΔHreaction = -275 kJ

explanation:

the largest database of organic compounds lists about 10 million substances, which include compounds originating from living organisms and those synthesized by chemists. the number of potential organic compounds has been estimated at 1060—an astronomically high number. the existence of so many organic molecules is a consequence of the ability of carbon atoms to form up to four strong bonds to other carbon atoms, resulting in chains and rings of many different sizes, shapes, and complexities. the simplest organic compounds contain only the elements carbon and hydrogen, and are called hydrocarbons. even though they are composed of only two types of atoms, there is a wide variety of hydrocarbons because they may consist of varying lengths of chains, branched chains, and rings of carbon atoms, or combinations of these structures. in addition, hydrocarbons may differ in the types of carbon-carbon bonds present in their molecules. many hydrocarbons are found in plants, animals, and their fossils; other hydrocarbons have been prepared in the laboratory. we use hydrocarbons every day, mainly as fuels, such as natural gas, acetylene, propane, butane, and the principal components of gasoline, diesel fuel, and heating oil. the familiar plastics polyethylene, polypropylene, and polystyrene are also hydrocarbons. we can distinguish several types of hydrocarbons by differences in the bonding between carbon atoms. this leads to differences in geometries and in the hybridization of the carbon orbitals.
