    98.09g/mol

    Step-by-step explanation:

    the molar mass of any compound is derived by the multiplying the individual atomic masses of each of the elements present in the compound by the number of atoms each element has and then adding each of the values together

    for H₂SO₄ (sulphuric acid)

    elements present are hydrogen, sulphur and oxygen

    atomic mass of hydrogen = 1.00784

    atomic mass of sulphur = 32.065

    atomic mass of oxygen = 15.999

    the acid contains 2 atoms of hydrogen, one atom of sulphur and 4 atoms of oxygen

    ∴molar mass of H₂SO₄ = (2 * atomic mass of hydrogen) + atomic mass of sulphur + (4 * atomic mass of oxygen)

    = (2 * 1.00784) + 32.065 + (4 * 15.999)

    = 2.01568 + 32.065 + 63.996

    = 98.09g/mol
