    When m for water is only 5 % so, m for the acid is (m%) = 95%

    and D = 1.84 g/ml, assume 1 L of solution therefore,

    1 - D = m / v

    m = D x v = 1.84 g/ml x 1 L x 10^3 ml / L

    = 1840 g solution

    2 - m% = m acid / m sol x 100 %

    m acid = 1840 g H2So4 x 0.95

    = 1750 g H2So4

    3 - n = 1750 g H2So4 x 1 mol H2So4 x 98.09 H2So4

    = 17.8 mol H2So4

    4 - So the molarity of { H2So4} = n / v = 17.8 mol H2So4 / 1 L

    = 17.8 M
