The electrolyte in a lead storage battery (lead-acid) is approximately:
A38% H₂SO₄ solution
BKOH paste
CConcentrated HNO₃
D5% NaCl
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. 38% H₂SO₄ solution
Lead-acid cell: Pb anode, PbO₂ cathode, **~38% H₂SO₄ as electrolyte**. Discharge: Pb + PbO₂ + 2H₂SO₄ → 2PbSO₄ + 2H₂O. On charging the reaction is reversed.
