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)
