Given, 93% H2SO4 solution (weight/volume).

It means 93 g of H2SOpresent in 100 mL of solution,

therefore, weight of H2SO= 93 g

Volume of solution = 100 mL

So, Weight of solution = 100 x 1.84 = 184 g

Thus, the weight of water =184 - 93=91 g

\therefore \text { Molality }=\frac{\text { moles of } \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}}{\text { weight of water in }(\mathrm{g})} \times 1000

\text { Moles of } \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}=\frac{93}{98}=0.948

\therefore \text { Molality }=\frac{0.948}{91} \times 1000=10.42
