Solution

The correct option is A 8.16 m
Given:

80% of H2SO4 (w/v) means 80 g of solute in 100 mL of solution
weight of H2SO4 = 80 g
molecular weight of H2SO4 = 98 gmL
density of solution = 1.80 gmL1.

density of solution=mass of solutionvolume of solution

mass of solution =1.80 × 1000 = 1800 g
weight of H2SO4 in 1 L of solution = 80100× 1000 =800 g

weight of solvent in solution = 1800800 g = 1000 g = 1 kg

molality of solution=mass of solutemolecular mass of solute × mass of solvent (kg)

=800 g98 gmL1 × 1 kg= 8.16 m.
