Answer:
The percentage composition of each element in H2O2 is 5.88% H and 94.12% O (Option D).
Explanation:
Step 1: Data given
Molar mass of H = 1.0 g/mol
Molar mass of O = 16 g/mol
Molar mass of H2O2 = 2*1.0 + 2*16 = 34.0 g/mol
Step 2: Calculate % hydrogen
% Hydrogen = ((2*1.0) / 34.0) * 100 %
% hydrogen = 5.88 %
Step 3: Calculate % oxygen
% Oxygen = ((2*16)/34)
% oxygen = 94.12 %
We can control this by the following equation
100 % - 5.88 % = 94.12 %
The percentage composition of each element in H2O2 is 5.88% H and 94.12% O (Option D).
