Question
During recharge the following reactions occur in the lead-acid battery.

         Cathode: PbSO4 (s) + 2e → Pb(s) + SO42−(aq)


         Anode:    PbSO4 (s) + 2H2O → PbO2 (s) + SO42−(aq)+ 4H+ + 2e

What are the lead-containing reactant(s) consumed during recharging of this battery?

Group of answer choices
Pb (s) only
PbO2 (s) only
PbSO4 (s) only
both PbO2 (s) and PbSO4 (s)
both Pb (s) and PbO2 (s)
