Answer:
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 =
53.1% of hydrogen reacts
