Please balance the following reaction (show half-reactions):
Pb (s) + PbO2 (s) + H+ (aq) + 2HSO4- (aq) --> PbSO4 (s) + H2O
Pb(s) + HSO4- (aq) ------> PbSO4(s) + 2e- + H+(aq) (oxidation)
PbO2(s) + 2e- + 3H+(aq) + 1HSO4- (aq)) ----> PbSO4(s) + 2H2O(l) (reduction)
over all reaction :
Pb(s) + HSO4- (aq) ------> PbSO4(s) + 2e- + H+(aq)
PbO2(s) + 2e- + 3H+(aq) + 1HSO4- (aq)) ----> PbSO4(s) + 2H2O(l)
