Solution
The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion The density of H2SO4 decreases in lead storage cell during discharging (as it is consumed) and increases during recharging (as it is regenerated). The calomel electrode is a secondary reference electrode and it is better than hydrogen electrode. It is a metal sparingly soluble salt electrode.
