TYPES OF BATTERIES • DANIEL CELL
LEAD-ACID CELL • Lead –acid has 6 electrochemical cells, each generating 2V.
Reactions: • ANODE (Negative): Pb → Pb2+ + 2e The Pb2+ producedwill reacts with sulfuric acid to form a precipitate of lead sulfate which builds up on the plates. Pb2+ SO42- → PbSO4
Reactions: • CATHODE (positive): PbO2 + 4H+ + 2e → Pb2+ + 2H2O The Pb2+ producedwill reacts with sulfuric acid to form a precipitate of lead sulfate which builds up on the plates. Pb2+ SO42- → PbSO4
Rechargeable • Lead-acid batteries are rechargeable. The act as an electrochemical and electrolytic cell. • By passing electric current back to the cell, Pb2+can be converted to Pb and PbO2. 2PbSO4 + 2H2O → PbO2 + 4H+ + 2 SO42-
