Identify the overall oxidation reaction that occurs in a lead storage cell during discharge.

Assertion : If $\lambda^o_{Na^{+}}$ and $\lambda^o_{Cl^{-}}$ are molar limiting conductivity of sodium and chloride ions respectively,then the limiting molar conductivity for sodium chloride is given by the equation :
$\Lambda^o_{NaCl} = \lambda^o_{Na^{+}} + \lambda^o_{Cl^{-}}$
Reason : This is according to Kohlrausch law of independent migration of ions.
