Answer:

The answer to your question is 1.6 moles of H₂SO₄

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

moles of H₂SO₄ = ?

mass of H₂SO₄ = 157 g

Process

1.- Calculate the molar mass of H₂SO₄

Molar mass = (1 x 2) + (32 x 1) + (16 x 4)

= 2 + 32 + 64

= 98 g

2.- Use proportions and cross multiplication to find the moles of H₂SO₄

98 g of H₂SO₄ -------------- 1 mol

157 g of H₂SO₄ --------------- x

x = (157 x 1) / 98

x = 157 / 98

-Result

x = 1.6 moles of H₂SO₄
