Solution

The correct option is B 60
We have
H2S2O7+H2O2H2SO4

113.5%H2SO4 means

100g of oleum conatins 113.5 g of H2SO4

so, amount of water reacted with oleum = 113.5 - 100 = 13.5g
moles of water = 13.518=0.75moles

we also have,
H2O+SO3H2SO4

so, 1 mole of water reacts with 1 mole of SO3.

so, 0.75 moles of water reacts with 0.75 moles of SO3

so, moles of SO3 = 0.75

so, amount of SO3 = moles×molar mass=0.75×80=60g
