The cathode of a lead storage battery is made up of A. Zinc B. Lead C. Lead oxide D. Manganese dioxide

Zinc
Lead
Lead oxide
Manganese dioxide

The correct answer is: C. Lead oxide

A lead storage battery is a type of rechargeable battery that uses lead and lead oxide as electrodes. The cathode of a lead storage battery is made up of lead oxide, which is a black powder. When the battery is charging, lead oxide is reduced to lead. When the battery is discharging, lead is oxidized to lead oxide.

The other options are incorrect:

  • Zinc is not used in lead storage batteries.
  • Lead is used in both the cathode and anode of a lead storage battery.
  • Manganese dioxide is used in the anode of a lead storage battery.
