Let a fully charged lead storage battery contains 1.5 L of5 H2SO4. What will be the concentration ofH2SO4in the battery after 2.5 ampere current is drawn from the battery for 6 hour?

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

Number of moles ofH2SO4before electrolysis
=MV1000
M×VmL=5×1.5=7.5
Write cell rectionPb0+PbO2+4+2H2SO42PbSO4+2+2H2O
n=2
For 2 moles of electrons
2 moles ofH2SO4are used
Moles of electrons used=IiA×tisec96500=2.5×6×360096500=0.56
Hence, moles ofH2SO4used=0.56
Remaining mol ofH2SO4=7.5-0.56=6.94
Final molarity=nV×1000=6.941.5×1000×1000
=4.626
