Density of H2SO4 in lead accumulator is__________________?

Correct answer: A. 1.25g/cm3

  • A. 1.25g/cm3
  • B. 1.3g/cm3
  • C. 1.20g/cm3
  • D. 1.15g/cm3

Explanation

The sulfuric acid electrolyte of a lead-acid accumulator has a density of about 1.25 g/cm3 under the commonly quoted operating condition. This density is higher than that of dilute sulfuric acid because the electrolyte contains substantial H2SO4. The likely mistake is choosing 1.30 g/cm3, which is closer to a more concentrated acid and is not the usual accumulator value.

About Redox Reactions

Redox reactions involve oxidation and reduction occurring together, with electrons transferred between species or oxidation numbers changing. The topic covers assigning oxidation states, identifying oxidizing and reducing agents, balancing redox equations by oxidation number or half-reaction methods, and connecting chemical changes with galvanic and electrolytic cells.
