Sure, here's a question for the student to solve:

A lead-acid battery has an electrode consisting of lead metal while the other electrode is lead dioxide. The electrolyte is 4 M sulfuric acid. If the cell operates until the lead electrode has dropped by 2.50 g, how much charge has passed through the external circuit? The half-reactions for the cell are:

PbSO4(s) + 2 H+(aq) + 2 e- → Pb(s) + H2SO4(aq)
PbO2(s) + 4 H+(aq) + SO42-(aq) + 2 e- → PbSO4(s) + 2 H2O(l)

(Charge of electron is 1.602 × 10^-19C.)
