A 38

Question

A 38% solution of sulphuric acid is used as electrolyte.(Density=1.294 gmL-¹).The battery , holds 3.5 L of the acid. During the discharge of the battery, the density of H2so4 falls to 1.139 mL-¹. (20% h2so4 by mass). What is the Molarity of sulphuric acid before discharge?

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)
