Try it on paper first. A hint, the key idea and the worked solution are here when you need them.
A bottle of sulfuric acid is labelled by mass, with density . Take the density of water as . Atomic masses in : H 1.0, O 16.0, S 32.0.
Have you tried it?
Work it out on paper first. It is fine to get stuck or make a mistake: that is how we learn. When you are ready, go through the solution one step at a time, and check each step against your own.
Plan. Work with of the acid, then use the masses for the dilution.
(a) has volume and holds of . Molarity .
(b) The water is , so molality .
(c) Water is , so .
(d) Mass of the mixture , so its volume is . This is less than the that simply adding would give.
(e) The portion held , so the molarity is . Adding volumes would have given , which is wrong by about .
Check. Taking exactly of the acid (, of which is acid) gives the same molarity and the same molality from the masses directly.
