The molar mass of $\mathrm{H}_2\mathrm{SO}_4$ is determined by adding the atomic masses of its constituent elements:

Hydrogen ($H$): $2 \times 1 = 2$

Sulfur ($S$): $32$

Oxygen ($O$): $4 \times 16 = 64$

Thus, the total molar mass of $\mathrm{H}_2\mathrm{SO}_4$ is:

$ 2 + 32 + 64 = 98 \, \text{g/mol} $

Given:

98 mg of $\mathrm{H}_2\mathrm{SO}_4$.

Since 1 g = 1000 mg, convert milligrams to grams:

$ 98 \, \text{mg} = \frac{98}{1000} \, \text{g} = 0.098 \, \text{g} $

The number of molecules in 98 mg of $\mathrm{H}_2\mathrm{SO}_4$ can be found using Avogadro’s number ($N_A = 6.02 \times 10^{23}$ molecules/mol):

98 grams of $\mathrm{H}_2\mathrm{SO}_4$ contains $6.02 \times 10^{23}$ molecules. Therefore, 0.098 grams will have:

$ \frac{6.02 \times 10^{23}}{1000} = 6.02 \times 10^{20} \text{ molecules} $

After removing $3.01 \times 10^{20}$ molecules, the remaining number of molecules is:

$ 6.02 \times 10^{20} - 3.01 \times 10^{20} = 3.01 \times 10^{20} \text{ molecules} $

Using the proportion of molecules to moles:

$ 6.02 \times 10^{23} \text{ molecules} = 1 \text{ mol} $

Consequently, $3.01 \times 10^{20}$ molecules are:

$ \frac{3.01 \times 10^{20}}{6.02 \times 10^{23}} = 5 \times 10^{-4} \text{ moles} $

Thus, the remaining $\mathrm{H}_2\mathrm{SO}_4$ in the flask is $5 \times 10^{-4}$ moles.
