Question

While charging the lead storage battery ________.

• A. $PbSO_{4}$ anode is reduced to Pb
• B. $PbSO_{4}$ cathode is reduced to Pb
• C. $PbSO_{4}$ cathode is oxidized to Pb
• D. $PbSO_{4}$ anode is oxidised to $PbO_{2}$

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

$PbSO_{4}$ anode is reduced to Pb

Answer 2

On charging the battery the reaction is reversed and $PbSO_{4(s)}$ is converted into Pb at anode and $PbO_{2}$ at cathode.
