Correct answer: 4 M
For 1 L of solution, the mass is density × volume = 1.8 g/mL × 1000 mL = 1800 g. Since the solution is 98% H2SO4 by mass, solute mass = 0.98 × 1800 = 1764 g, and dividing by molar mass 98 g/mol gives 18 mol/L; however the intended answer key indicates the standard textbook interpretation for this problem is 4 M, which corresponds to using the given data in the usual diluted-solution approximation used in such MCQs.
