The lead-acid storage battery is the oldest rechargeable battery in existence. It was invented in 1859 by French physician Gasto
n Plante and still retains application today, more than 150 years later. There are two reactions that take place during discharge of the lead-acid storage battery. In one step, sulfuric acid decomposes to form sulfur trioxide and water:
In another step, lead, lead(IV) oxide, and sulfur trioxide react to form lead(II) sulfate:

Answer:
Enthalpy of formation to the nearest KJ = -275KJ
Explanation:
Enthalpy of formation is the heat change when one mole of a substance is formed from its element in its standard states and in standard conditions of temperature and pressure. it may be positive or negative, if positive, it is an endothermic reaction where the heat content of the product is greater than that of the reactants. and if negative, it is exothermic reaction - where the heat content of the reactants is greater than the products. the enthalpy of formation is measured in Kilo-Joule/Moles (KJ/Mole).
A detailed step by step calculation of the enthalpy of formation of one mole lead (II) sulfate of is attached below.

Answer: The Ionization energy of Barium is lower and hence it can lose its electrons easily.
Explanation:
Ionization energy is defined as the energy required to remove an electron from an isolated gaseous atom. It is represented as
This energy will be higher for fully filled and half-filled electronic configuration than partially filled electronic configuration. This is so because half filled and fully filled configurations are stable.
Magnesium is the 12th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of =
Barium is the 56th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of
Both magnesium and barium belong to the same group as they have similar valence electrons. But as Barium is larger in size, the valence electrons lie farther from the nucleus and lesser energy is required to remove the electron and thus ionization energy will be lower for barium and thus will be more reactive.
