Write the cell reaction of a lead storage battery when it is discharged. How does the density of the electrolyte change when the battery is discharged?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`Pb+PbO_(2)+2H_(2)SO_(4)rarr2PbSO_(4)+2H_(2)O`, Density of electrolyte decreases as water is formed and sulphuric acid is consumed as the product during discharge of the battery
