Question

While a car is running, the alternator provides current to the battery and recharges it. which reaction occurs at the anode of a lead-storage battery during this process?

Answer 1

While a car is running, the alternator provides current to the battery and recharges it. Reduction  reaction occurs at the anode of a lead-storage battery during this process .

The Lead-acid battery or lead-storage battery is one of the oldest types of rechargeable batteries.

Lead-storage batteries can be classified as secondary batteries. The chemical reactions that occur in secondary cells are reversible. The chemical process of extracting current from a secondary battery (forward reaction) is called discharging. The method of regenerating active material is called charging.

While recharging, the automobile battery functions like an electrolytic cell. The energy required to drive the recharging comes from an external source, such as an engine of a car. While charging reduction takes place at anode and while discharging oxidation takes place at anode.
