The overall discharge reaction of the lead storage battery is Pb+PbOX2+2HX2SOX42PbSOX4+2HX2O. When 3 mol of electrons are delivered, the amount of HX2SOX4 consumed is
A2 mol
B1.5 mol
C3 mol
D6 mol
Answer: C
The overall reaction transfers 2 electrons and consumes 2 mol HX2SOX4, i.e. 1 mol HX2SOX4 per mole of electrons. For 3 mol of electrons, 3 mol of HX2SOX4 is consumed.
