During the discharge of a lead storage battery, the density of sulphuric acid fell from 1.294 to 1.139g mL-1·H2SO4 of density 1.294gmL-1 is 39% and that of density 1.139 g·mL-1 is 20% by weight. The battery holds 3.5 L of acid and the volume practically remains constant during discharge. Calculate the number of ampere hours for which the battery must have been used. The discharging and charging reactions are.
