0.075*mol

Explanation:

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

And thus, "Moles of solute"="Volume of solution"xx"molarity"

=0.5*Lxx0.150*mol*L^-1=0.075*mol with respect to H_2SO_4.

Of course, we speak of a formal concentration. We know that in aqueous solution sulfuric acid speciates to give HSO_4^- and SO_4^(2-), and equivalent quantities of H_3O^+.
