For lead storage battery pick the correct statements

A. During charging of battery, PbSO4 on anode is converted into PbO2

B. During charging of battery, PbSO4 on cathode is converted into PbO2

C. Lead storage battery consists of grid of lead packed with PbO2 as anode

D. Lead storage battery has ~38% solution of sulphuric acid as an electrolyte

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

The lead storage battery is as shown in diagram. Lead storage battery consists of lead anode and a grid of lead packed with lead oxide(PbO2) as cathode, a 38% solution of H2SO4 is used as an electrolyte. During charging of battery PbSO4 deposited on cathode is converted in PbO2 and PbSO4 deposited on anode is converted into Pb. The electrolyte used in battery is H2SO4 which is about 38% by mass.
