Solution
The correct option is D3.76×1025 From the formula unit of H2SO4,
4 moles of O-atoms are present in 1 mole of H2SO4. Therefore, 5 moles of O-atom will be present in 54 moles of H2SO4.
The total number of electrons in one formula unit of H2SO4=1×2+16+8×4=50
The total number of electrons in one mole of H2SO4=50×6.022×1023
Therefore, the total number of electrons in 54 moles of H2SO4 =50×6.022×1023×52 =3.76×1025
