If you wanted to neutralize the acid in a lead acid battery, you could add sodium hydroxide. Depending on how much you add, you could cause a violent reaction to occur. For example, if you add a large amount of NaOH too fast, you could cause the liquid to boil. You could also vaporize the acid in the battery by the heat released during the neutralization process.

What happens when lead reacts with sodium hydroxide?
Nothing will happen because Sodium Hydroxide is a strong alkali. Lead is not as strong as Sodium Hydroxide, so it will not react.
What surfactant can dissolve lead sulfate crystals?
how can a lead acid battery be cleansed from lead sulfate crystals?
Lead calcium alloy for lead acid battery?
It depends.***********Lead-calcium alloy is the standard alloy for electrodes in lead-acid batteries. It is one of the few alloys involving reactive metals (a group which also includes sodium, potassium, and lithium) that consumers would actually be able to see or touch; most such alloys are used strictly within industrial processes.
Why zinc hydroxide is soluble in excess of sodium hydroxide solution?
Zinc hydroxide Zn(OH)2 is an inorganic chemical compound. It also occurs naturally as 3 rare minerals: wülfingite (orthorhombic), ashoverite and sweetite (both tetragonal).Like the hydroxides of other metals, such as lead, aluminium, beryllium, tin and chromium, zinc hydroxide (and zinc oxide), is amphoteric. Thus it will dissolve readily in a dilute solution of a strong acid, such as HCl, and also in a solution of an alkali such as sodium hydroxide.It can be prepared by adding sodium hydroxide solution, but not in excess, to a solution of any zinc salt. A white precipitate will be seen: Zn2+ + 2OH- → Zn(OH)2.If excess sodium hydroxide is added, the precipitate of zinc hydroxide will dissolve, forming a colorless solution of zincate ion: Zn(OH)2 + 2OH- → Zn(OH)42-. This property can be used as a test for zinc ions in solution, but it is not exclusive, since aluminum and lead compounds behave in a very similar manner. Unlike the hydroxides of aluminum and lead, zinc hydroxide also dissolves in aqueous ammonia to form a colourless, water-soluble ammine complexThe reason that the zinc hydroxide will dissolve is because the ion is normally surrounded by water ligands; when excess sodium hydroxide is added to the solution the hydroxide ions will reduce the complex to a -2 charge and make it soluble. When excess ammonia is added, it sets up an equilibirum which provides hydroxide ions; the formation of hydroxide ions causes a similar reaction as sodium hydroxide and creates a +2 charged complex with a co-ordination number of 4 with the ammonia ligands - this makes the complex soluble so that it dissolves
Why does aluminium hydroxide redissolve in excess sodium hydroxide?
Al(OH)3 (s) + OH- (aq) -------> [Al(OH)4]- (aq) Aluminium hydroxide undergoes further reaction with hydroxide ion to from a complex ion, which is of course, soluble in water. Some other metal hydroxides also have similar reaction, like zinc hydroxide, and lead (II) hydroxide.
What acid does a car battery have?
Typical Lead acid batteries use sulfuric acid while most Hybrid High Voltage batteries will use some form of either Sodium or Potassium Hydroxide as an electrolyte which is not acid but a basic.Battery acid is sulfuric acid, H2SO4. It is present as a 33% (6 molar) aqueous solution (dissolved in water)Sulfuric acid (H2SO4) Sulfuric Acid 35% and distilled water 65 % this mixture is called electrolyteIn a Lead Acid Car Battery, the acid used is Sulphuric Acid (H2SO4).
What is the difference between a lead-acid accumulator and a lead-acid battery?
There is no difference between lead acid accumulator and lead acid battery.
Naoh and lead nitrate?
The products will be lead hydroxide and sodium nitrate
What happens when lead reacts with sodium hydroxide?
Nothing will happen because Sodium Hydroxide is a strong alkali. Lead is not as strong as Sodium Hydroxide, so it will not react.
Which acid is used in lead acid battery?
Traditionally, sulphuric acid is used at a strength of around 30-38%. However amazingly, a lead acid battery can be emptied of acid, neutralised with something like sodium bicarbonate and then filled with a solution of distilled water and sodium aluminium sulphate. This (astoundlingly I think) can work even better than conventional acid. I am not sure of the chemistry going on when this is done, but should you be interested, googling for somethnig like : lead acid sodium aluminium sulphate - ought to yield results for further study. Anyway, to recap, the traditional acid on a lead acide battery is roughly 35% sulphuric acid. Ok I think it is Alkine coz any time i c a battery it says alkine sorry if its not the info you need
Can you explain the working of lead acid battery?

What is inside a lead acid battery?
sulfuric acid and lead.
Is sulfuric acid the same as battery acid?
Yes it is you can use that or Lead Acid for battery acid. Good question.
What type of battery does the 1997 Chrysler Sebring have?

Can water work in a acid battery?
Water is required in a lead acid battery.
What are batteries made of metal or steel?
It may be that the external casing of many batteries is steel, but the action of the batter does not depend on the casing. It is commonly said that to make a battery, you need two dissimilar metals and an electrolyte. There is a popular demonstration where one constructs a battery with two pieces of metal stabbed into a lemon. An alkaline battery uses zinc and manganese dioxide with potassium hydroxide as the electrolyte. Another typical battery is the Lead Acid found in most cars that uses lead, lead oxide and an electrolyte of sulfuric acid. There is also the Edison Battery, made of nickel oxide-hydroxide and iron with potassium hydroxide as it's electrolyte. There are many other examples.
