Question

The electrode reactions for charging of a lead battery are:
$P b S O_{4} + 2 e \to P b + S O_{4}^{2 -}$
$P b S O_{4} + 2 H_{2} O \to P b O_{2} + S O_{4}^{2 -} + 4 H + 2 e$
The electrolyte in the battery is an aqueous solution of $H_{2} 3 O_{4}$ . After this battery has been charged:

A

The sulphuric acid will be more concentrated

Solution

The correct option is B The sulphuric acid will be more concentrated
In the process of charging of lade storage battery we provide electron then again lade started to attach with electron and formation of sulfuric acid is started in electrolyte solution.
So we can say that after this battery has been charged the sulfuric acid will be more concentrated.
