Chemistry

A lead-acid battery uses a redox reaction in which lead(0) andlead(IV) are both converted to lead(II). This reaction isfacilitated by the presence of sulfuric acid, H2SO4, as shown bythe reaction

Pb+PbO2+2H2SO4→2PbSO4+2H2O

Suppose that a fully charged lead-acid battery contains 1.50 Lof 5.00 M H2SO4. What will be the concentration of H2SO4in the battery after 3.30 A of current is drawn from the batteryfor 7.50 hours?

Express your answer with the appropriate units.
