A “dead” 12-Volt lead/acid storage battery has 4.30 g of PbSO4 (molar mass = 303.3 g), deposited on its electrodes. To recharge it, a “trickle charger” is attached to the Pb anode that supplies 0.120 amperes of current at a voltage of 13.0 V. Calculate how much time it would take to convert all the PbSO4back into SO42− ions in solution. Enter your answer in hours.
