IMPORTANT

A lead storage battery consists of a lead anode and a grid of lead packed with lead dioxide as the cathode. The electrolyte taken is 39% H2SO4 by mass having a density of 1.29gmL-1. The battery holds 3.5 L of the acid. During the discharge of the battery, the densityH2SO4 falls from1.294gmL-1 to 1.139gmL-1 which is 20%H2SO4 by mass.
