Question

For reversible operation of the lead storage cell (given in following figure) at 298 K and all species in the cell in their standard state,
 

Select the correct statement(s) based on following data.
Half cell reaction E°(volt) 
PbO2(s)+SO42(aq)+4H+(aq)2ePbSO4(s)+2H2O()+1.7VPbO2(s)+4H++2ePb+2(aq)+2H2O() +1.46VPb+2(aq)+2ePb(s) 0.13VPbSO4(s)+2ePb(s)+SO42(aq)ΔH of the overall cell reaction =306kJ/mol

 

Moderate
Solution

Anode : Pbs+SO42aq  PbSO4s+2eE° = 0.3V

Cathode: PbO2+SO42aq+4H++2e  PbSO4+2H2Ol E° = 1.7 V

Ecello=2V
