"2 moles"2 moles.

Explanation:

You have "196 grams"196 grams of "H"_2"SO"_4H2SO4.

We can calculate the molar mass of sulfuric acid by looking at the periodic table.

"H": "1 g" * "2" = color(red)"2 g"H:1 g2=2 g
"S": color(red)"32 g"S:32 g
"O": "16 g" * "4"= color(red)"64 g"O:16 g4=64 g
------
Total = color(red)["98 g"98 g

This means for every "1 mole"1 mole of "H"_2"SO"_4H2SO4, you have "98 grams"98 grams of it.

We can use a conversion factor to solve for number of moles in "196 grams"196 grams of "H"_2"SO"_4H2SO4.

color(white)(aaaaaaaaaaa)(196 cancel"g")/1 * ("1 mole")/(98 cancel"g") = color(orange)["2 moles H"_2"SO"_4

Answer: 2 moles
