 (a) 109% oleum means 100g oleum  (H2SO4+SO3) exactly requires 9 g water to produce exactly 109 g of pure H2SO4 .
  H2O18g+SO380gH2SO4 9g40g
     Percentage of free  SO3=40%
 (b) 1 g of oleum contains 0.4g of  SO3 and hence, 0.6 g of  H2SO4.
 Now,  neqSO3+neqH2SO4=neqNaOH
Or 0.480×2+0.698×2=V×0.51000×1V=44.49ml
