The acid generally stored in batteries is
|
|
Acetic Acid
|
|
|
Nitric Acid
|
|
|
Sulphuric Acid
|
|
|
Hydrochloric Acid
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Sulphuric acid develops voltage from the chemical reaction produced when two unlike materials such as the positive and negative plates are immersed in the electrolyte a solution of sulphuric acid and water. In typical lead-acid battery the voltage is approx. 2 volts per cell for a total of 12 volts.
Detailed explanation-2: -Battery acid is sulfuric acid that has been diluted with water to attain a 37% concentration level. This particular type of acid is used in sealed lead acid batteries, however, concentration levels differenciate with some brands.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hence, sulfuric acid is used as an electrolyte in batteries.
