Question

10 grams of compound J is found to have a mass ratio of 8:2 of lithium (Li): Hydrogen (H). How many grams
of hydrogen would found in 42.0 grams of compound J?

Answer 1

Answer:

Mass of hydrogen in 42 gram of J = 8.4

Explanation:

Given:

Amount of compound J = 10 gram

Mass ratio[lithium (Li): Hydrogen (H)] = 8:2

Find:

Mass of hydrogen in 42 gram of J

Computation:

Mass of hydrogen in 10 gram of J = [2 / 10] 10

Mass of hydrogen in 10 gram of J = 2 gram

Mass of hydrogen in 42 gram of J = [2 / 10] 42

Mass of hydrogen in 42 gram of J = 8.4
