Chapter 17, Problem 24QRT

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The amount of energy utilized by the light bulb after the operation of $1.0\text{h}$ when a $\text{25-W}$ light bulb is glows with the current from a $1\text{2-V}$ lead-acid storage battery has to be calculated.  Also, the charge that is passed through the bulb has to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

The electrolysis is explained quantitatively on the basis of Faraday’s law.  During oxidation and reduction, a certain quantity of charge is transmitted.  The quantity of substance generated by each electrode shows a direct relation with the amount of charge that flows by the cell.
