a 51.0 g sample of h2so4 is found to contain 1.05 g of h, 16.67 g of s, and 33.28 g of o. what is the percent composition of h in the compound? ?% h

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Recall percent - composition formula

Percent composition of an element = $\frac{\text{mass of element}}{\text{mass of compound}}\times100%$

Step2: Substitute given values

The mass of $H$ is $m_H = 1.05$ g and the mass of the compound $H_2SO_4$ is $m = 51.0$ g. Percent composition of $H=\frac{1.05}{51.0}\times 100%$ Percent composition of $H=\frac{105}{51.0}% \approx 2.06%$

Answer:

$2.06$
