Expert Answer
At Anode : Pb (s) + SO4 2- (aq) → PbSO4 (s)+ 2e-.
At Cathode: PbO2(s) + SO4 2- (aq) + 4H+ (aq) +2e- →PbSO4 (s) + 2H2O(l)
The overall reaction is
Pb (s) + PbO2(s) + 4H+ (aq) + 2SO4 2-(aq) → 2PbSO4 (s) + 2H2O(l)
While charging:
At Cathode: PbSO4 (s)+ 2e- → Pb (s) + SO4 2- (aq)
At Anode: PbSO4 (s) + 2H2O(l) → PbO2(s) + SO4 2- (aq) + 4H+ (aq) +2e-
