Write the net ionic equation for the cell reaction:

Question

PbO₂(s) + HSO₄^-(aq) + 3H⁺+ 2e^- --> PbSO₄(s) + 2H₂O (l)

PbSO₄(s) + H⁺ (aq) + 2e^- ---> Pb(s) + HSO₄^-(aq)

Answer 1

PbO₂(s) + HSO₄^-(aq) + 3H⁺+ 2e^- --> PbSO₄(s) + 2H₂O (l) (reduction @ cathode)

Pb(s) + HSO₄^-(aq) --> PbSO4(s) + H⁺(aq) + 2e- (oxidation @ anode)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PbO₂(s) + 2HSO₄^-(aq) + 2H⁺ + Pb(s) --> 2PbSO₄(s) + 2H₂O (l) ... net ionic equation
