Write the cell reaction of a lead storage battery when it is discharged. How does the density of the electrolyte change when the battery is discharged?

Options

  1. ADensity of electrolyte decreases as water is formed and sulphuric acid is consumed as the product during disch
  2. BDensity of electrolyte increases as water is formed and sulphuric acid is consumed as the product during disch
  3. CDensity of electrolyte decreases as water is formed and sulphuric acid stays constant as the product during di
  4. DDensity of electrolyte increases as water is formed and sulphuric acid is produced as the product during disch

Correct answer

A. Density of electrolyte decreases as water is formed and sulphuric acid is consumed as the product during disch

Step-by-step solution

Correct Option is : (A) Density of electrolyte decreases as water is formed and sulphuric acid is consumed as the product during discharge of the battery.
