The correct answer is: 2.4

Percent labeling of oleum = 100 + Total mass of water required to completely convert oleum intoH2SO4

So, we need 18 g of water for the reaction SO3+H2OH2SO4

one mole of water is required, which in turn means that one mole of SO3 is present. Therefore, in a 100 g sample, 80 g is SO3.

Hence, the mass of H2SO4= 20 g

Number of moles of SO3=8080=1

Number of moles of H2SO4=2098=0.20

one mole of H2SO4​ requires two moles of NaOH for complete neutralization

one mole of SO3​ requires two moles of NaOH for complete neutralization

SO3+2NaOHNa2SO4+H2O

So, number of moles of NaOH required for neutralization of 100g of 118% oleum=2×Number of SO3=2×number of moles of H2SO4

=2×1+2×0.2=2.4 moles
