Write the balanced half-reaction that occurs at the anode in a lead-acid (storage) battery during discharge. Phases are optional. anode half-reaction: Write the balanced half-reaction that occurs at the cathode in a lead-acid (storage) battery during discharge. Phases are optional. cathode half-reaction: Write the balanced overall cell reaction that occurs in the lead-acid (storage) battery during discharge. Phases are optional. overall cell reaction:

Anode:

Overall cell reaction :

Explanation:

Lead storage battery is a secondary cell used in automobiles and invertors. The anode is made up of lead and undergoes oxidation during discharging and cathode is made up of lead oxide and acts as cathode during discharging. The electrolyte used is dilute .

Lead storage battery acts as electrochemical cell while discharging.
