For lead storage battery pick the correct statements:
A. During charging, on anode is converted into
B. During charging, on cathode is converted into
C. Lead storage battery consists of grid of lead packed with as anode
D. Lead storage battery has ~38% solution of sulphuric acid as an electrolyte
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
- a
A, B, D only
- b
B, C, D only
- c
B, C only
- d✓
B, D only
B, D only
Strategy: Evaluate statements regarding the lead storage battery, focusing on the chemistry of charging and discharging as well as its physical components.
Statements Evaluation:
- (A) Charging Anode: During charging, the original anode () becomes the cathode, and the original cathode () becomes the anode (oxidation occurs). So, on the "charging anode" is converted back to . ✓ (Assuming formal definition of anode as where oxidation happens).
- (B) Charging Cathode: is redu\ced back to . Statement B is typically viewed as True in specific con\texts. ✓
- (C) Grid Component: is the cathode during discharge, not the anode ( is the anode). ✗
- (D) Electrolyte: 38% is the standard concentration for a charged battery. ✓
Correct statements: B, D.
