Question

While charging the lead storage battery, ………

• A. $PbS{O}_4$ on anode is reduced to Pb
• B. $PbS{O}_4$ on cathode is reduced to Pb
• C. $PbS{O}_4$ on cathode is oxidized to Pb
• D. $PbS{O}_4$ on anode is oxidized to $Pb{O}_2$

Answer 1

The correct option is A

$PbS{O}_4$ on anode is reduced to Pb

During charging lead storage battery.

At the anode: $PbS{O}_4+2e^{-}\to Pb+S{O}_4^{2-}$
