Solution

The correct option is D 20 g
As we know,

Percent labeling of oleum = 100 + Total mass of water required to completely convert oleum into H2SO4.
So, we need 18 g of water for the reaction SO3+H2OH2SO4,

1 mole of water is required, which in turn means that 1 mole of SO3 is present. Therefore, in a 100 g sample, 80 g is SO3.

Hence, the mass of H2SO4= 20 g.
