A read storage battery is the most impotant type of secondary cell having a lead anode and a grid of lead packed with `PbO_(2)` as cathode. A `38%` solution of sulphuric acid is used as electrolyte. (Density=1.294 g `mL^(-1))` battery holds 3.5 L of the acid. During the discharge of the battery, the density of `H_(2)SO_(4)` falls to 1.139 g `mL^(-1).(20%H_(2)SO_(4)` by mass)
Write the reaction taking place at the cathode when the battery is in use.

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to write the reaction that takes place at the cathode of a lead storage battery during discharge. The cathode consists of lead dioxide (PbO₂) and the electrolyte is sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Components**: - Cathode: Lead dioxide (PbO₂) - Electrolyte: Sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄) ...
