The discharging and charging reactions are:

P b + S O_{4}^{2 -} \to P b S O_{4} + 2 e^{-}

P b O_{2} + 4 H^{+} + S O_{4}^{2 -} + 2 e^{-} \to P b S O_{4} + 2 H_{2} O

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)

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

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)

is 39% by mass and that of the density of 1.139 g

m l^{- 1}

is 20% by mass. The battery holds 3.5 litre of acid and the volume practically remained constant during the discharge. Calculate the no. of ampere hour 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 ⟹
