Chapter 22, Problem 22.81(choose chapter or problem)
The lead(IV) oxide used in car batteries is prepared by coating the electrode plate with PbO and then oxidizing it to lead dioxide (PbO2). Despite its name, PbO2 has a nonstoichiometric mole ratio of lead to oxygen of about 1/1.98. In fact, the holes in the PbO2 crystal structure due to missing O atoms are responsible for the oxides conductivity. (a) What is the mole % of O missing from the PbO2 structure? (b) What is the molar mass of the nonstoichiometric compound?
