Resposta
To find the percent composition by mass of hydrogen in
, we need to determine the total mass of hydrogen in one mole of the compound and then divide it by the molar mass of the compound.1. **Calculate the molar mass of hydrogen in
:** - The formula
contains 5 hydrogen atoms (4 from
and 1 from
). - The atomic mass of hydrogen is approximately
. Therefore, the total mass of hydrogen in one mole of
is:
2. **Calculate the percent composition by mass of hydrogen:**
Therefore, the percent composition by mass of hydrogen in
is approximately
.
