A chemist measures the amount of hydrogen gas produced during an experiment. She finds that 264. g of hydrogen gas is produced. Calculate the number of moles of hydrogen gas produced. Round your answer to 3 significant digits. W mol x 6 ?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer is 130.953 g of hydrogen gas.

Explanation:

Hydrogen gas is formed by two atoms of hydrogen (H), so its molecular formula is H₂. We can calculate is molecular weight as the product of the molar mass of H (1.008 g/mol):

Molecular weight H₂= molar mass of H x 2= 1.008 g/mol x 2= 2.01568 g

Finally, we obtain the number of mol of H₂ there is in the produced gas mass (264 g) by using the molecular weight as follows:

mass= 264 g x 1 mol H₂/2.01568 g= 130.9731703 g

The final mass rounded to 3 significant digits is 130.973 g
