Question 9 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

Electrochemical Battery

An electrochemical battery is a device powered by oxidation and reduction reactions that are physically separated. So that the electrons must travel through a wire from the reducing agent to the oxidizing agent.

The reducing agent loses electrons and is oxidized in a reaction that takes place at an electrode is called the anode. The oxidizing agent gains electrons and is reduced in a reaction that takes at an electrode is called the cathode.

To maintain a net zero charge in each compartment, there is a limited flow of ions through a salt bridge.

For example, in a car battery the reducing agent is oxidized by the following reaction, which involves a lead ( $Pb$ ) anode and sulfuric acid ( $H _2SO _4$). Lead sulfate ( $PbSO _4$ ), protons ( $H$ ), and electrons ( $e^-$) are produced.

At the cathode, the below reaction occurs :

$PbO _2+H _2SO _4+2H^++2e^-\rightarrow$ PbSO_4+2H_2O$

At the anode, the below reaction occurs :

$Pb+H_2SO_4 \rightarrow PbSO_4+2H^++2e^-$

Electrons are produced by a chemical reaction that takes place at the:

anode.
cathode.
lead oxide electrode.
oxidizer.
salt bridge.
