is battery acid a 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
A compound. H3PO4 is the formula for phosphoric acid. It is a compound of three separate elements. It is a compound, not a mixture since it cannot be separated by physical means.
Acetic acid is a compound. The chemical formula is CH3COOH.
It is a compound of hydrogen, sulfur and oxygen.
Acid rain is a mixture, not a compound. It is formed when sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide gases mix with water vapor in the atmosphere, creating sulfuric acid and nitric acid, which then fall back to the ground as acid rain.
