### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Understanding Lead Storage Batteries**: Lead storage batteries, commonly known as lead-acid batteries, consist of lead dioxide (PbO2) as the positive electrode, sponge lead (Pb) as the negative electrode, and sulfuric acid (H2SO4) as the electrolyte. 2. **Chemical Reactions During Discharge**: When the battery discharges, the following reactions occur: - At the positive electrode: \[ \text{PbO}_2 + 3\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 + 2\text{e}^- \rightarrow \text{PbSO}_4 + 3\text{H}_2\text{O} ...
