When a lead acid car battery is recharged by the alternator, it acts essentially as an electrolytic cell in which solid lead(II) sulfate (PbSo,) is reduced to the cathode and oxidized to solid lead(II) oxide (PbO) at the anode. Suppose a current of 40.0 A is fed into a car battery for 44.0 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. Dlo

Question
When a lead acid car battery is recharged by the alternator, it acts essentially as an electrolytic cell in which solid lead(II) sulfate (PbSO,) is reduced to lead at
the cathode and oxidized to solid lead(II) oxide (PbO) at the anode.
Suppose a current of 40.0 A is fed into a car battery for 44.0 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.
