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: H, SO,() – SO;(g) + H, O(1) AH=+113. kJ In another step, lead, lead(IV) oxide, and sulfur trioxide react to form lead(II) sulfate: Pb(s) - PbO, (5) + 2 SO,(g) 2 PBSO,(s) AH=-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.

When a mixture of hydrogen and bromine is maintained at normal atmospheric pressure and heated above 200. °C in a closed container, the hydrogen and bromine react to form hydrogen bromide and a gas-phase equilibrium is established. Write a balanced chemical equation for the equilibrium reaction. Use bond enthalpies from Table 6.2 ( Sec. 6-6b) to estimate the enthalpy change for the reaction. Based on your answers to parts (a) and (b), which is more important in determining the position of this equilibrium, the entropy effect or the energy effect? In which direction will the equilibrium shift as the temperature increases above 200. °C? Explain. Suppose that the pressure were increased to triple its initial value. In which direction would the equilibrium shift? Why is the equilibrium not established at room temperature?
9.72 Although it can be a nuisance when a laptop computer freezes up and needs to be rebooted, we accept that as somewhat inevitable. But clearly the need to occasionally reboot the control system for the power grid would not be acceptable. Use the web to research ways that engineers ensure the reliability of crucial systems like the control infrastructure of the grid, and write a paragraph summarizing the main strategies employed.
The following reaction occurs in pure water: H2O(l)+H2O(l)H3O+(aq)+OH-(aq) which is often abbreviated as H2O(l)H+(aq)+OH-(aq) For this reaction, G = 79.9 kJ/mol at 25C. Calculate the value of G for this reaction at 25C when [OH] = 0.15 M and [H+] = 0.71 M.
