A 24.5*g mass of sulfuric acid is dissolved in enough water to make a solution of 100*mL volume. What is the concentration with respect to H_2SO_4?

"Molarity" = "Moles of Solute"/"Volume of solution"

Explanation:

"Moles of sulfuric acid" = (24.5*g)/(98.08*g*mol^-1)

"Concentration of sulfuric acid"

= (24.5*g)/(98.08*g*mol^-1)xx1/(100*cm^3xx10^-3*L*cm^-3)

= ??mol*L^-1.

Note that this answer is dimensionally consistent. We require an answer with units of concentration, and we got one! This is why scientists place so much emphasis on units; it helps to get the calculations right.

What is the concentration with respect to H_3O^+?
