In lead storage battery, which of the following reaction is anode reaction? |
PbO + H2SO4 → PbSO4 + H2O Pb2+ + 2e- → Pb PbO + H2SO4 → PbSO4 + 2H+ + 2e- None of these |
PbO + H2SO4 → PbSO4 + 2H+ + 2e- |
The cell reactions when the Lead storage battery is in use are given below: Anode: Pb(s) + SO42–(aq) → PbSO4 (s) + 2e– Cathode: PbO2 (s) + SO42–(aq) + 4H+(aq) + 2e– → PbSO4 (s) + 2H2O (l) i.e., overall cell reaction consisting of cathode and anode reactions is: Pb(s) + PbO2 (s) + 2H2SO4 (aq) → 2PbSO4 (s) + 2H2O(l) |
