δg° for the reaction having e° cell = 2.04v. is 393.658kJ.

The lead (Pb) in the lead storage battery act as an anode

<h3>What is Voltaic Cell?</h3>

A voltaic cell or galvanic cell is an electrochemical cell that uses chemical reactions to produce electrical energy.

<h3>Parts of voltaic cell</h3>

Anode where oxidation occurs Cathode where reduction occurs.

Therefore, Pb acts as anode and PbO2 act as a cathode.

Given,

E° cell = 2.04v

Faraday constant= 96485 C/mol

Moles of electron transferred n= 2

∆G = -nFE°

= -2 × 96485 × 2.04

= 393.658kJ

Thus we concluded that the δg° for the reaction having e° cell = 2.04v. is 393.658kJ.
