Element used with lead for storage battery plates?
Antimony
Why must the plates of a battery always be kept moist?
Because they will buckle if they are used dry.
What are the main material used to make a battery?
a car battery is made of a plastic casing, lead plates and a sulfuric acid/water mixture
What numbers can be used as letters on number plates?
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9
Why is water used in a car battery?
Because car batteries have metal plates in them to conduct the energy of the battery and the water helps allowing the electricity to flow in the battery when the vehicle is running. After the water has been in contact with the conduit in which the electricity flows (the conduits are acid filled) the water becomes acidic as well and so caution must be used when filling the battery and when removing or carrying it. Also, as a side note, if there is no water in the battery there is an increase in heat and a deterioration of battery plates. This restricts the battery from charging and destroys the battery plates. In contrast, if there is too much water, it can cause the battery to overflow during operation of the vehicle and start corrosion on metal parts around the battery.
Can a regular auto battery charger be used to charge a motorcyle battery?
Check the charging current, it may be too much for the motorcycle battery and cause damage to the battery with risks of buckling electrode plates, cracking of the case, explosion or fire.
What is lead used for in cars?
Lead is used for batteries. In a car battery there are a series of plates that are coated with a lead oxide paste. Alternating plates are then given a positive charge. This turns the lead oxide into lead dioxide, giving the battery two dissimilar metals needed to make voltage when they are immersed in an electrolyte. This electrolyte in car batteries is sulfuric acid, H2SO4. When the battery is fully charged the chemical balance is H2SO4, and every positive plate is PbO2, while the negative plates are just Pb. When the battery is used the electrolyte generates electricity by trying to balance the two lead plates so that they become neutral. The sulfuric acid will form with both of the lead plates to form lead sulfate, PbSO4 and the oxygen in the positive plates combines with the hydrogen of the sulfuric acid, to form water, H20. During charging the water is split into hydrogen and oxygen. The positive plates collect the oxygen and the hydrogen is given off as gas and once again the battery is fully charged because the lead plates have opposite charges.
Can you use hydrochloric acid in car battery?
No. The correct acid used in car batteries is Sulfuric Acid and it is a special battery formulation. Hydrochloric acid will destroy the plates over night.
Why lithium metal is used in batteries?
it allows the highest energy storage density of any material that can be used to make the plates of the battery from. this means small high power batteries.
Why is sulfuric acid used used in car battery?
Sulfuric acid is used because it combines with water to produce electrolytes. Inside a car battery, these electrolytes cover the battery plates, and are used to power the crankshaft when the car and engine is first started, so that the crankshaft can start to turn and the process of supplying fuel & air to the engine can begin. Hope that helps.
What is the number of rivets used in construction of the Titanic?
The plates of Titanic were connected with about three million rivets.
How long does a 5000mAh battery last?
If you divide the 5000 mAh by the current used (in mA), you will get the number of hours the battery will last.
