MCQ
When lead storage battery is charged
  • A
    Lead dioxide dissolves
  • Sulphuric acid is regenerated
  • C
    The lead electrode becomes coated with lead sulphate
  • D
    The amount of sulphuric acid decreases

Answer

Correct option: B.
Sulphuric acid is regenerated
b
(b)During charging of a lead storage battery, the reaction at the anode and cathode are

Anode: $PbS{O_4} + 2{e^ - } \to Pb + SO_4^{2 - }$

Cathode: $PbS{O_4} + 2{H_2}O \to Pb{O_2} + 4{H^ + } + SO_4^{2 - } + 2{e^ - }$

In both the reactions ${H_2}S{O_4}$ is regenerated.
