Session D
29. The lead-acid battery represents the oldest rechargeable battery technology. Lead acid
batteries can be found in a wide variety of applications including small-scale power
storage such as UPS systems, ignition power sources for automobiles, along with large,
grid-scale power systems. The spongy lead act as the anode and lead dioxide as the
cathode. Aqueous sulphuric acid is used as an electrolyte. The half-reactions during
discharging of lead storage cells are: Anode: Pb(s)  SO2 (aq)  PbSO (s)  2e
Cathode: PbO (s) 4H (aq)  SO2 (aq)  2e  PbSO (s)  2H2O There is no safe
way of disposal and these batteries end - up in landfills. Lead and sulphuric acid are
extremely hazardous and pollute soil, water as well as air. Irrespective of the
environmental challenges it poses, lead-acid batteries have remained an important
source of energy. Designing green and sustainable battery systems as alternatives to
conventional means remains relevant. Fuel cells are seen as the future source of energy.
Hydrogen is considered a green fuel. Problem with fuel cells at present is the storage of
hydrogen. Currently, ammonia and methanol are being used as a source of hydrogen for
fuel cell. These are obtained industrially, so add to the environmental issues. If the
problem of storage of hydrogen is overcome, is it still a “green fuel?” Despite being the
most abundant element in the Universe, hydrogen does not exist on its own so needs to
be extracted from the water using electrolysis or separated from carbon fossil fuels.
Both of these processes require a significant amount of energy which is currently more
than that gained from the hydrogen itself. In addition, this extraction typically requires
the use of fossil fuels. More research is being conducted in this field to solve these
problems. Despite the problem of no good means to extract Hydrogen, it is a uniquely
abundant and renewable source of energy, perfect for our future zero-carbon needs.
(a) How many coulombs have been transferred from anode to cathode in order to
consume one mole of sulphuric acid during the discharging of lead storage cell?
(b) How much work can be extracted by using lead storage cell if each cell delivers
about 2.0 V of voltage? (1 F = 96500 C)

polyhydroxy aldehydes and ketones and those compounds which on hydrolysis give
