Chapter 19, Problem 151

The sodium–sulfur battery has molybdenum electrodes with anode and cathode compartments separated by b-alumina, a ceramic through which sodium ions can pass. Because the battery operates at temperatures above 300 °C, all the reactants and products are present in a molten solution. The cell voltage is about 2.0 V. (b) How many kilograms of sodium are consumed when a 25 kW sodium–sulfur battery produces current for 32 min?
