Find the cell potential of a lead-acid battery? [Chemistry] (1 Viewer)

[Bloodstriker]

So my teacher wants us to find the cell potential of a lead-sulfuric acid cell
How am i meant to find the potential of the sulfuric acid?

Thanks

That gives the voltage of each individual cell (~2.1V).

There are generally 6 cells so multiply that by 6 to get your total voltage of around 12.6V
