Mass of Hydrogen atoms : 18 g
Given
73 gram of HCl
144gram of H₂O
Required
Mass (gram) atom of Hydrogen
Solution
H atoms are in 2 compounds, H₂O and HCl, so we calculate their mass in each compound
[tex]\tt \dfrac{1}{36.5}\times 73=2~g[/tex]
mass H in HCl :
[tex]\tt \dfrac{2}{18}\times 144=16~g[/tex]
total mass = 2 g+ 16 g = 18 g
