What is the molar concentration of sulfuric acid is we have an "80% w/w" concentration with rho_"solution"=1.73*g*mL^-1?

Approx. 14 mol*L^-1

Explanation:

We know that 1 mL of sulfuric acid has a mass of 1.73 g, of which 1.384 g is H_2SO_4.

So "concentration" = "Moles of solute"/"Volume of solution"

(1.384*cancelg)/(98.079*cancelg*mol^-1) xx 1/(1*cancel(mL)xx(10^-3L*cancel(mL^-1)) = ?? mol*L^-1

"98% sulfuric acid (w/w)" has a density of 1.83*g*mL^-1. What is the molarity of this solution.
