Detailed Solution

Molarity of H2SO4 is 18 M which indicates that 18 moles of H2SO4 present in 1 L of solution. Mass present in 18 moles of H2SO4 is calculated as:

Number of moles of H2SO4=Given mass of H2SO4Molar mass of H2SO418 mol=Given mass of H2SO498 gmol×1 kg1000 gGiven mass of H2SO4=1.764 kg

Density of 18 M H2SO4 solution is 1.8 g/mL which indicates that 1.8 g is present in 1 mL and is also said that 1800 g (or 1.8 kg) present in 1 L of solution.

1.8 gmL=1.8 gmL×1 L1000 mL =1800 g/L =1800 g×1 kg1000 gL =1.8 kg/L

In H2SO4 solution, total volume of solution is 1.8 kg and the mass of H2SO4 is 1.764 kg. Mass of water is:

Mass of H2SO4 solution=Mass of H2SO4+Mass of water1.8 kg=1.764 kg+Mass of waterMass of water=0.036 kg

Molality of H2SO4 is calculated as:

Molality=Number of moles of H2SO4Volume of solvent (in kg) =18 mol0.036 kg =500 m
