Solution

The correct option is D 3.67 M
Concentration of H2SO4 = 30% by weight
Weight percent is the weight in grams of the solute per 100 g of the solution.​
Wsolute=30 gWsolution=100 gWsolvent=70 g

Density=MassVolume
Given,
Density of solution = 1.2g/cm3
Therefore,
Vsolution=1001.2 mL

Molar mass of H2SO4 = 98 g mol1
Molar mass of H2O = 18 g mol1
nsolute=3098=0.306 mol

Molarity is the number of moles of solute present in 1 litre of the solution.

Molarity=Number of moles of soluteVolume of solution in litre

Molarity=nsolute×1000Vsolution

Molarity=0.306×1000×1.2100=3.67 M
