The chemical reaction occurring during the discharge of a lead storage battery can be represented by the equation:
Pb(s) + PbO2(s) + 2 H2SO4(aq) → 2 PbSO4(s) + 2 H2O(l)
Which is the limiting reagent and the amount of PbSO4 produced if 39.8 g of Pb, 57.9 g of PbO2, and 352 mL of 0.375 M solution of H2SO4 is used?
◦ limiting reagent PbO2, 146 g PbSO4
◦ limiting reagent Pb, 58.2 g PbSO4
◦ limiting reagent Pb, 116 g PbSO4
◦ limiting reagent H2SO4, 80.0 g PbSO4
◦ limiting reagent H2SO4, 40.0 g PbSO4
