Solution

The correct option is B 20
Oleum is mixture of $H_{2} S O_{4}$ and $S O_{3}$ gas. When we add water to oleum, $S O_{3}$ present in it reacts with water to from $H_{2} S O_{4}$ according to the following equation :
$S O_{3} + H_{2} O \to H_{2} S O_{4}$
104.5% labeled oleum means 100 g oleum reacts with $H_{2} O$ to form 104.5g $H_{2} S O_{4}$ . Hence mass of water is 4.5 g.
According to stochiometry coefficient :
18 g water combines with 80 g $S O_{3}$
$∴$ 4.5 g of $H_{2} O$ combines with 20 g of $S O_{3}$
$∴$ 100 g of oleum contains 20 g of $S O_{3}$
Hence $20 %$ of $S O_{3}$ was free.
