Write the chemistry of recharging the lead stronge battery, highlighting all the materials that are involved during recharging.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

When lead storage battery is recharged, electricl energy is supplied to the cell from the external source: i.e., the cell operates as an electrolytic cell during recharging. All the chemical reactions, which take place during the use of battery, are reversed at this time.
At anode `PbSo_(4(s))+2e^(-)to Pb_((s))+SO_(4(aq))^(2-)`
At cathode `PbSO_(4(s))+2H_(2)O_((l))to PbO_(2(s))^(2-)+4H_((aq))^(+)+2e^(-)`
`underline overline ("Overall reaction"2PbSO_(4(s))+2H_(2)O_((l))toPb_((s))+PbO_(2(s))+2H_(2)SO_(4(aq)))`
