B. 2.66\text{B. 2.66}

Step-by-step solution

5 steps
  1. Calculate the molar mass of sulphuric acid (H2SO4\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4).

    The atomic masses are given as H=1, S=32, O=16.

    Molar mass of H2SO4=(2×1)+32+(4×16)=2+32+64=98 g/mol\text{Molar mass of H}_2\text{SO}_4 = (2 \times 1) + 32 + (4 \times 16) = 2 + 32 + 64 = 98 \text{ g/mol}
  2. Calculate the moles of H2SO4\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 required for the desired solution.

    The target solution is 250 cm3^3 (which is 0.250 dm3^3) of 0.2 M H2SO4\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4.

    Moles of H2SO4=Molarity×Volume (in dm3)\text{Moles of H}_2\text{SO}_4 = \text{Molarity} \times \text{Volume (in dm}^3\text{)} Moles of H2SO4=0.2 mol/dm3×0.250 dm3=0.05 mol\text{Moles of H}_2\text{SO}_4 = 0.2 \text{ mol/dm}^3 \times 0.250 \text{ dm}^3 = 0.05 \text{ mol}
  3. Calculate the mass of H2SO4\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 corresponding to these moles.

    Mass of H2SO4=Moles×Molar mass\text{Mass of H}_2\text{SO}_4 = \text{Moles} \times \text{Molar mass} Mass of H2SO4=0.05 mol×98 g/mol=4.9 g\text{Mass of H}_2\text{SO}_4 = 0.05 \text{ mol} \times 98 \text{ g/mol} = 4.9 \text{ g}
  4. Calculate the volume of pure sulphuric acid (liquid) required using its density.

    The density of pure sulphuric acid is 1.84 g/cm3^3.

    Volume=MassDensity\text{Volume} = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Density}} Volume of pure H2SO4=4.9 g1.84 g/cm3≈2.663 cm3\text{Volume of pure H}_2\text{SO}_4 = \frac{4.9 \text{ g}}{1.84 \text{ g/cm}^3} \approx 2.663 \text{ cm}^3
  5. Select the closest option.

    The calculated volume is approximately 2.66 cm32.66 \text{ cm}^3, which matches option B.

    The final answer is B. 2.66\text{B. 2.66}.
