A solution of H2SO4 is 31.4% H2SO4 by mass and has a density of 1.25 g/mL. The molarity of the H2SO4 solution is _____ M (nearest integer)
[Given molar mass of H2SO4 = 98 g mol-1] [2024]
(4)
31.4% H2SO4 by mass means:
31.4 gm H2SO4 in 100gm solution
⇒31.498 mol=0.32 mol H2SO4 in 100 g1.25 g mL-1
=80 mL solution
