$Pb + PbO_2 + 2H_2SO_4 \rightarrow 2PbSO_4 + 2H_2O$

(A) During the discharging of a lead storage cell,the lead anode $(Pb)$ and the lead dioxide cathode $(PbO_2)$ react with sulfuric acid $(H_2SO_4)$ to form lead sulfate $(PbSO_4)$ and water $(H_2O)$.The overall cell reaction is:$Pb_{(s)} + PbO_{2(s)} + 2H_2SO_{4(aq)} \rightarrow 2PbSO_{4(s)} + 2H_2O_{(l)}$
