Question

Identify the incorrect statement(s) :

In Nickel - Cadmium battery Cadmium acts as cathode during discharging.

During discharging of lead storage battery following reaction takes place.

2PbSO4(s) + 2H2O(ℓ) → PbO2(s) + Pb(s) + 2HSO4–(aq) + 2H+(aq)

Zinc coating can protect iron from unwanted oxidation.

To deposit 2 mol of Ni from NiSO4(aq) at cathode 4F of electricity is required.

Solution

during discharging process lead oxidises

Cd-act as anode during discharging

Ni2+ + 2e¯ → Ni for 2 more 4F charge required

S.R.P of line is lower so it can protect Fe.
