Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 5.364

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given molarity \(M = 4.5 \text{ mol/L}\) and density \(d = 1.28 \text{ g/mL}\). The mass of \(1 \text{ L}\) of solution is \(1000 \text{ mL} \times 1.28 \text{ g/mL} = 1280 \text{ g}\). The mass of solute (\(H_{2}SO_{4}\)) in \(1 \text{ L}\) of solution is…
