Scientific Practices The Battery in Your Car
Let’s take a closer look at the lead–acid storage battery, the one found in most cars (Equation 7.11).
- a. Lead occurs in this equation as Pb, PbO2, and PbSO4, all solids. In which of these is lead in an ionic form? What are the charges (or oxidation states) of the ions? Which one of these symbols represents lead in its metallic form?
- b. When lead is converted from its metallic form to an ionic form, are electrons lost or gained? Is this oxidation or reduction?
- c. When the battery is discharging, is metallic lead oxidized or reduced?
