Discharging reaction : $P b$ $+$ $P b O_{2}$ $+$ $2 H_{2} S O_{4}$ $\to$ $2 P b S O_{4}$ $+$ $2 H_{2} O$
$⟹$ $H_{2} S O_{4}$ gets consumed during discharging of the car battery, hence strength of the sulphuric acid decreases during the discharge of a car battery.

During the discharge of a lead storage battery, the density of sulphuric acid fell from

1.294

1.139 g m l^{- 1}

. Sulphuric acid of density

1.294 g m l^{- 1}

is 39% by weight and that of density

1.139 g m l^{- 1}

is 20% by weight. The battery holds 3.5 L of the acid and the volume remained practically constant during the discharge. Find the number of ampere-hours for which the battery must has been used.

The charging and discharging reactions are as follows:

$P b + S O_{4}^{2 -} \to P b S O_{4} + 2 e^{-}$ (charging)

$P b O_{2} + 4 H^{\oplus} + S O_{4}^{2 -} + 2 e^{-} \to P b S O_{4} + 2 H_{2} O$ (discharging)

During the discharge of a lead storage battery, the density of sulphuric acid fell from $1.294$ to $1.139$ gm $L^{- 1}$ . Sulphuric acid of density $1.294$ gm $L^{- 1}$ is $39$ % by weight and that of density 1.139 gm $L^{- 1}$ is $20$ % by weight. The battery holds $3.5$ litres of acid and the column practically remained constant during the discharge.

Calculate the number of ampere-hours for which the battery must have been used. The charging and discharging reactions are :

$P b + S O {_{4}}^{2 -} \to P b S O_{4} + 2 e^{-}$ (charging)

$P b O_{2} + 4 H^{+} + S O {_{4}}^{2 -} + 2 e^{-} \to P b S O_{4} + 2 H_{2} O$ (discharging)
