Answer

1.44 M

Work Step by Step

Weight percent= 13.0% Mass fraction= 13.0/100= 0.130 Let the volume of the solution be 1 L= 1000 mL. Then, Mass of the solution= Density$\times$Volume= $1.090\,g/mL \times 1000\,mL= 1090\,g $ Mass of $H_{2}SO_{4}$= mass fraction of $H_{2}SO_{4}\times$ mass of the solution $=0.130\times1090\,g=141.7\,g$ Moles of $H_{2}SO_{4}=\frac{mass\,of\,H_{2}SO_{4}}{molar\,mass}$ $=\frac{141.7\,g}{98.079\,g/mol}=1.44\,mol$ Molarity=$ \frac{mass\,of\,H_{2}SO_{4}}{Volume\, of\, solution\,in\,L}=\frac{1.44\,mol}{1\,L}$ $=1.44\,M$
