Solution
The correct option is A 1.6 L Number of moles in 12.0 L of 2.4 M solution=12.0×2.4=28.8mol
The sulfuric acid solution is 98% w/w.
The weight of sulfuric acid =28.8×98×10098=2880g.
Density = MassVolume = 1.8 g/ml
Hence, volume of the sulfuric acid solution is MassDensity = 2880g1.8g/ml=1600ml=1.6L.
Therefore option A is correct.
