0.5 gm of fuming H_(2)SO_(4) (Oleum) is diluted with water. This solution is completely neutralised by 26.7 ml of 0.4 M NaOH solution. Calculate the percentage of free SO_(3) in the given sample. Give your answer excluding the decimal places.

Oleum is mixture of H_(2)SO_(4) and SO_(3) i.e. H_(2)S_(2)O_(7) which is obtained by passing SO_(3) is solution of H_(2)SO_(4) . In order to dissolve SO_(3) in oleum, dilution of oleum is done by water in which oleum is converted into pure H_(2)SO as shown below: H_(2)SO_(4)+SO_(3)+H_(2)Oto2H_(2)SO_(4) (pure) When 100 gm oleum is diluted with water then total mass of diluted oleum is known as percentage labelling in oleum. For example: 109% H_(2)SO_(4) labelling of oleum sample means that 109 gm pure H_(2)SO_(4) is obtained on diluting 100 gm oleum with 9 gm H_(2)O which dissolves al free SO_(3) in oleum. If the number of moles of free SO_(3), H_(2)SO_(4) , and H_(2)O be x, y and z respectively in 118% H_(2)SO_(4) labelled oleum, the value of (x+y+z) is

The pH of a solution of H_(2)SO_(4) is 1. Assuming complete ionisation, find the molarity of H_(2)SO_(4) solution :

Nitrating mixture is obtained by mixing conc. HNO_(3) and conc H_(2)SO_(4) . Role of H_(2)SO_(4) in nitration is

Incorrect statement for H_(2)SO_(4) is

The percentage labelling (mixture of H_(2)SO_(4) and SO_(3)) refers to the total mass of pure H_(2)SO_(4) .The total amount of H_(2)SO_(4) found after adding calculated amount of water to 100 g oleum is the percentage labelling of oleum. Higher the percentage lebeling of oleum higher is the amount of free SO_(3) in the oleum sample. The percent free SO_(3) is an oleum is 20%. Label the sample of oleum in terms of percent H_(2) SO_(4) .

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 109% 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) ?
