Question

The oxide of lead used in lead accumulators is : (A) PbO  (B) Pb2O3  (C)  Pb3O4 (D) PbO2

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

PbO2 is a strong oxidising agent and is produced in situ in lead storage batteries. The anode is oxidized to PbO2 and cathode is reduced to spongy Pb.

Q. The oxide of lead used in lead accumulators is :

$P b O$

$P b_{2} O_{3}$

$P b_{3} O_{4}$

$P b O_{2}$

$P b O_{2}$ is a strong oxidising agent and is produced in situ in lead storage batteries. The anode is oxidized to $P b O_{2}$ and cathode is reduced to spongy $P b$ .
