The half$-$reactions that take place in a Pb$-$acid battery correspond to Reactions $2$ and $17$ in Fuller Appendix

A$.$ Please answer the following questions.

a$)$ Identify the anodic and cathodic half$-$reaction and explain how you determined them. Then, determine the

overall reaction and $n,$ the number of electrons involved in the reaction.

b$)$ Use the standard electrode potentials from Fuller Appendix A to calculate the theoretical cell voltage for the

Pb$-$acid battery.

c$)$ Use the thermodynamic data from Fuller Appendix $C$ to confirm that the theoretical cell voltage determined

using the change in the Gibbs reaction energy is the same value as what you found in b$).$
