Basic Lead Acid question
Posted: Wed May 04, 2016 11:05 am
I am trying to run calculations...
I have PbO (which contains ~20% Pure Pb), so PbO/Pb and I'm trying to determine how much PbSO4 is being produced from the PbO/Pb.
I know that the basic balanced equation is
PbO + H2SO4 = H2O + PbSO4
but in realistic terms its more like
PbO + Pb2+ + H2SO4 = H2O + PbSO4 + PbO + Pb2+
All the H2SO4 I am adding will be consumed and there is ~9% of Pure Pb left in the mix.
How would one determine the ratio of of Pb to PbO?
