How do I prepare 1% H2SO4 from concentrated sulphuric acid (96% with density 1.84g/ml)? Thank you very much for your help.

There are 0.96*1.84 = 1.7664 g of pure H2SO4 per ml of concentrated H2SO4. You need to add 99 times as much H2O (174.9 g) to have a solution that is 1% H2SO4 by mass. That means adding 174.9 ml of H2O.
That means adding 174.9 ml of H2O.

Although in practice this done the other way round, add the acid to water, NOT water to acid.
add 174.9 ml of H2O to 1ml of H2SO4?
