H₂SO₄ is reduced in this process. (Batteries in our cars generate electricity by the following chemical reaction.)
Pb + PbO₂ + 2H₂SO₄ $\rarr$ 2PbSO₄ + 2H₂O

Question

H₂SO₄ is reduced in this process. (Batteries in our cars generate electricity by the following chemical reaction.) Pb + PbO₂ + 2H₂SO₄ $\rarr$ 2PbSO₄ + 2H₂O

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The chemical reaction described is the process occurring in a lead-acid battery during discharge, not reduction. It involves the conversion of lead (Pb) and lead dioxide (PbO2) into lead sulfate (PbSO4), releasing electrical energy.
