Charge of one mole of  \mathrm{ e^{-}=1}faraday
\mathrm{ \mathrm{Pb}(\mathrm{s})+\mathrm{SO}_4^{-2} \rightarrow \mathrm{PbSO}_4+2 e^{-} }
If 2 F charge is passed then amount of  \mathrm{Pb} \mathrm{SO}_4(\mathrm{gm})  deposited   =303 \mathrm{~g}

So; if 0.13 \mathrm{~F}  faraday current passed then  \mathrm{PbSO_4}  deposite
\frac{303}{2} \times 0.13
= 19.695 \approx 20 \mathrm{~g}.
