Determine the percent sulfuric acid by mass of a 1.61 m aqueous solution of H2SO4. %

Wt%H₂SO₄ = 10.2% (w/w)

Explanation:

1.61 molal H₂SO₄ = 1.61 mole H₂SO₄/Kg Solvent = 1.61 mole (98 g/mole) / Kg Solvent = 113.68 g H₂SO₄/Kg Solvent

Solution weight = 1000 g solvent + 113.68 g solute = 1113.68 g Solution

Wt%H₂SO₄ = (113.68 g/1113.68g) 100% = 10.2% (w/w)
