Write the chemistry of recharging the lead storage battery, highlighting all the materials that are involved during recharging.
Galvanic cells that are designed to convert
the energy of combustion of fuels like hydrogen, methane, methanol, etc. directly into electrical energy are called fuel cells
The electrode
reactions are given below:
Cathode: O2(g) + 2H2O(l) + 4e- -->4OH-(aq)
Anode: 2H2 (g) + 4OH-(aq) ---> 4H2O(l) + 4e-
Overall reaction being:
2H2(g) + O2(g) ---> 2 H2O(l )
