Car Battery Car batteries use lead, lead(IV) oxide, and
a sulfuric acid solution to produce an electric current.
The products of the reaction are lead(II) sulfate in solution and water.
a. Write the balanced equation for the reaction.
b. Determine the mass of lead(II) sulfate produced
when 25.0 g of lead reacts with an excess of lead(IV)
oxide and sulfuric acid.
