Which materials used as paste in tubular positive plate of Lead acid Industrial Battery?
lead oxide 70% & Red Lead 30%
What substance is reduced in a lead-acid storage battery?
lead oxide
What does the lead sulfate change to when charging a battery?
As the battery charges, the negative plate changes to metallic lead, and the positive plate change to lead dioxide.
Why odd plate in battery?
lead
What substance is reduced in a lead storage battery?
The substance that is reduced in a lead battery as it generates electric currents is lead dioxide. You can recharge the battery by reversing the direction the current is flowing.
What part of a cars battery is made from lead peroxide?
The positive plate of a (charged) lead/acid battery.
What substances react in the standard automobile battery?
lead(IV) oxide, lead, and sulfuric acid.
What is the element used in metal plates in car batteries?
It is lead. That is why such batteries are called lead-acid battery. The chemical make up of the plates in a car battery changes dependant on the amount of charge in the battery. Fully Charged is + plate = lead peroxide or PbO2, -plate = spongy lead or Pb Discharge both the + plate and - plate are Lead Sulphate or PbSO4 Electrolyte is made of Sulphuric acid and distilled water. H2SO4 SDS
What would you tell engineer who has suggested a design for a new battery using silver for both electrodes?
There must be a difference between the electrodes. If both are silver metal the voltage will be zero. I don't know if it works with silver like it does with lead, but oxidizing the metal of one electrode might make a workable battery (a silver/silver oxide battery like the lead/lead oxide of the lead acid battery).

What does a wet cell car battery contain?
A car battery is a rechargeable, or secondary, wet cell battery that contains lead, lead oxide, plates and an electrolyte solution that contains a mixture of water and acid.
What does acid have to do with a wet cell battery?
The sulfuric acid in an automotive battery (the most common form of wet cell), is an electrolyte. As the battery discharges, the sulfuric acid reacts with the lead and lead oxide plates to form lead sulfate. When the battery is charging, the reaction is reversed.
