When charging a lead-acid cell, the active material of the positive plate changes from lead sulfate (PbSO4) to lead dioxide (PbO2). This transformation occurs as the battery is recharged, allowing the cell to store electrical energy. The negative plate simultaneously converts lead sulfate into sponge lead (Pb).
As the battery charges, the negative plate changes to metallic lead, and the positive plate change to lead dioxide.
At the positive electrode, oxygen gas was produced.
No, sulfate has a negative charge of 2. The formula for sulfate is SO4 2- where "-2" is the charge.
We can not answer this as we were not there to observe the experiment. Only YOU can answer this!
Sodium sulfate is a salt that is neither acidic nor basic. When dissolved in water, it forms sodium ions and sulfate ions, which do not contribute to changes in pH.
The blue copper sulfate pentahydrate loss by heating water and become an anhydrous white sulfate.
It serves as the gelatinous material of cartilage.
The ionic formula for nickel (II) and hydrogen sulfate is NiSO4.
Nothing happens, because positive metal ions (Cu2+ and Na+ ) never will react with each other.
Enough to test positive
At the positive electrode, which is called the anode, oxygen gas is produced when copper sulfate is electrolyzed. This is because copper ions are being oxidized to form copper oxide at the anode, along with the release of oxygen gas.
The main mineral in drywall is gypsum, which is a soft sulfate mineral composed of calcium sulfate dehydrate. It adds strength and fire resistance to the material.
