Scientific Practices The Battery in Your Car
Let’s take a closer look at the lead–acid storage battery, the one found in most cars (Equation 7.11).
- a. Lead occurs in this equation as Pb, PbO2, and PbSO4, all solids. In which of these is lead in an ionic form? What are the charges (or oxidation states) of the ions? Which one of these symbols represents lead in its metallic form?
- b. When lead is converted from its metallic form to an ionic form, are electrons lost or gained? Is this oxidation or reduction?
- c. When the battery is discharging, is metallic lead oxidized or reduced?

Consider two identical metal spheres, A and B.
Sphere A carries a charge of – 48 µC and sphere B
carries a charge of - 64 µC. The two spheres are
touched together and then separated after they
acquire the same charge (after they reach
electrostatic equilibrium). How many electrons, n, are
transferred from sphere B to sphere A?
Equation:
Negative charge lost by sphere Bafter touching
n =
where e = -1.6 x 10-19 C.
Number of electrons transferred 1.0 x 104 electrons
Number of electrons transferred = 5.0 x 10 electrons
Number of electrons transferred = 2.0 x 1014 electrons
Number of electrons transferred = 1.5 x 1014 electrons

Source company or site name where you got the value (don't list the full URL):
(b) Search the web (Google is best here) for the density of mineral oil from Sigma-Aldrich (a chemical company):
(c) As you learned during your prelab (hopefully!), baby oil and mineral oil are not pure substances. As such, their
composition (and thus density) can vary a bit, which would not be so for a pure substance (at a given T). That is why
you likely found varying values-or ranges of values-for baby…
