Final answer:

To calculate the molarity of a sulfuric acid solution, the mass of sulfuric acid and the volume of the solution are needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the molarity of a sulfuric acid solution, the information needed is the mass of sulfuric acid and the volume of the solution. Molarity (M) is defined as the number of moles of a solute (in this case, sulfuric acid) divided by the volume of the solution in liters.

To find the number of moles of sulfuric acid, you can divide the mass of the sulfuric acid by its molar mass, which is 98.12 g/mol for sulfuric acid. Then, you use the volume of the solution to calculate the molarity.
