Solution and Explanation

 Molarity = n/v
Where, n= moles of solute
           v= liter of solution  

Moles of the solute= wt. of H₂SO₄ in1 L of solution/ mol wt. of H₂SO₄ 
Wt. of H₂SO₄ = strength x density x 1000
                      = 86/100 x1.787x 1000
                      = 1536.82

The molecular weight of H₂SO₄ is 98

Substituting the values, molarity = 1536.82/98 = 15.68 M

b) The molarity equation = M1V1= M2V2
In the question, M1= 15.68 
                        M2= 0.2
                        V2= 1000
                       
Substituting these values, 15.58 x V1= 0.2 X 1000 
                                                      V1 = 200/15.68 
                                                            = 12.75 mL
