Is pencil lead a compound or an element or an homogeneous mixture or a heterogeneous mixture?

Pencil lead is actually not lead (Pb) at all, but it is graphite. And graphite is simply carbons atoms. So, no, it is NOT a compound mixture.

Is battery acid a element compound or mixture?

(Car) Battery acid is a compound. It is sulphuric acid. In a car battery lead(Pb) and copper(Cu) plates are immersed in sulphuric acid. When there is an electrical discharge across the battery , internally, the sulphuric acid reacts with the lead (Pb) plate. Seen as a white powder at the battery terminals, especially when the battery is old. There is also a release of hydrogen gas. There should be a 'vent' tube to release the hydrogen. Because if a (electrical)spark goes across the hydrogen , the battery explodes. When this lead sulphate increases on the lead plate, it will eventually touch the copper plate. The battery immediately discharges and will not work. So you have to replace the battery. H2SO4 + Pb = PbSO4 + H2 H2 + (1/2)O2(air) == spark/bang ==> H2O


Is lead weights a mixture compound or element?
