Electrochemistry · Class 12 · JEE Main Previous Year Question
The anodic half-cell of lead-acid battery is recharged using electricity of 0.05 Faraday. The amount of electrolyzed in g during the pro\cess is:
(Molar mass of )
- a
22.8
- b
15.2
- c
11.4
- d✓
7.6
7.6
Strategy: In the lead-acid battery, recharging involves the reverse of the discharge reaction. Identify the moles of electrons () and relate them to the stoichiometry of conversion.
Recharging Reaction (Anode): During recharge, on the negative plate is converted back to , and on the positive plate, it's converted to . For the anodic pro\cess: Stoichiometry: 2 moles of electrons () electrolyze 1 mole of .
Calculation: Given Charge passed . Moles of electrolyzed . Mass .
