Question

Write the name of the cell which is generally used in inverters. Write the reactions taking place at the anode and the cathode of this cell.

Answer 1

Lead Storage Battery.
At anode:
$Pb\left(s\right)+S{O}_4^{2-}\left(aq\right)\to PbS{O}_4+2e^{-}$
At cathode:
$Pb{O}_2\left(s\right)+4H^{+}\left(aq\right)+S{O}_4^{2-}+2e^{-}\to PbS{O}_4\left(s\right)+2H_{2}O\left(l\right)$
Net reaction:
$Pb\left(s\right)+Pb{O}_2\left(s\right)+2H_{2}S{O}_4\left(aq\right)\to 2PbS{O}_4+2H_{2}O\left(l\right)$
