Vedclass · Answer

(C) In a lead accumulator (lead-acid battery),the cathode is made of lead dioxide $(PbO_{2_{(s)}})$.
During the discharging process,the reaction at the cathode is: $PbO_{2	ext{(s)}} + 4H^{+}{_{	ext{(aq)}}} + SO_4^{2-}{_{	ext{(aq)}}} + 2e^{-} ightarrow PbSO_{4	ext{(s)}} + 2H_2O_{	ext{(l)}}$.
In this reaction,the oxidation state of $Pb$ in $PbO_{2}$ changes from $+4$ to $+2$ in $PbSO_{4}$.
Since the oxidation state decreases,$PbO_{2_{(s)}}$ is reduced to $Pb^{2+}$ ions (which then form $PbSO_{4_{(s)}}$).

During discharging,the change taking place at the cathode in a lead accumulator is:
