Calculate the mass percent of .485g of H, which reacts with O to form 2.32g H2O?

53.1% of hydrogen reacts

Explanation:

The mixture of 2 atoms of H with 1 atom of O produce 1 molecule of H₂.

The mass of hydrogen in 2.32g of H₂O could be obtained using molar mass of H₂O (18.01g/mol) and molar mass of hydrogen (1.01g/mol) as follows:

Moles H₂O: 2.32g H₂O × (1mole / 18.01g) = 0.1288 moles of water

1 mole of H₂O contains 2 moles of H, moles of hydrogen in 0.1288 moles of water are:

0.1288 moles H₂O × (2 moles H / 1 mole H₂O) = 0.2576 moles of H

In mass:

0.2576 moles H × (1.01g/ mol H) = 0.260g H you have in the formed water

As before reaction you had 0.485g of H and just 0.260g reacted, mass percent is:

(Mass that reacts / Mass added) × 100

(0.260g / 0.485g) × 100 =
