Oleum is considered as a solution of SO_(3) in H_(2)SO_(4) , which is obtained by passing SO_(3) in solution of H_(2)SO_(4) When 100 g sample of oleum is diluted with desired mass of H_(2)O then the total mass of H_(2)SO_(4) obtained after dilution is known is known as % labelling in oleum. For example, a oleum bottle labelled as ' 019% H_(2)SO_(4) ' means the 109 g total mass of pure H_(2)SO_(4) will be formed when 100 g of oleum is diluted by 9 g of H_(2)O which combines with all the free SO_(3) present in oleum to form H_(2)SO_(4) as SO_(3)+H_(2)O to H_(2)SO_(4) What is the % of free SO_(3) in an oleum that is labelled as '104.5% H_(2)SO_(4)' ?
