Which reaction occurs at the cathode of a lead-storage battery that is being recharged? A. 2e− + PbO2 + 4H+ + SO42− ----> PbSO4 + 2H2O B. PbSO4 + 2H2O ----> 2e− + PbO2 + 4H+ + SO42− C. Pb + SO42− ----> PbSO4 + 2e− D. PbSO4+ 2e− ----> Pb + SO42−

@DanJS

OpenStudy (danjs):

The anode reaction of the discharge , in reverse. Let me find that again...

OpenStudy (danjs):

Pb + HSO4− → PbSO4 + H + + 2e − the reverse of that

OpenStudy (danjs):

Without the H+ in there

OpenStudy (danjs):

D. PbSO4+ 2e− ----> Pb + SO42−

OpenStudy (danjs):

hows that ?

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

thank you

OpenStudy (danjs):

was that right

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

yes lol
