Calculating the mass of an electrolysis product from the applied current When a lead acid car battery is recharged by the alternator, it acts essentially as an electrolytic cell in which solid lead(II) sulfate (PbSO4) is reduced to lead at the cathode and oxidized to solid lead(II) oxide (PbO) at the anode. Suppose a current of 90.0 A is fed into a car battery for 65.0 seconds. Calculate the mass of lead deposited on the cathode of the battery. Round your answer to 3 significant digits.

![Calculating the mass of an electrolysis product from the applied current
When a lead acid car battery is recharged by the alternator, it acts essentially as an electrolytic cell in which solid lead(II) sulfate (PbSO4) is reduced to lead at
the cathode and oxidized to solid lead(II) oxide (PbO) at the anode.
Suppose a current of 90.0 A is fed into a car battery for 65.0 seconds. Calculate the mass of lead deposited on the cathode of the battery.
Round your answer to 3 significant digits. Also, be sure your answer contains a unit symbol.
