.033597 grams of hydrogen is combined with 1.000grams of of carbon . calculate the atomic mass of hydrogen
lets think. It could be CH4, or C2H4 , or C6H6, or octane, C8H18.
Now the ratios of moles of carbon and hydrogen are different in each.
Looking at C8H18., the moles of H are 18/8 moles of C
Carbon moles: 1/atomicmassC
Hydrogen: .033597/atomicmassH
Hydrogen moles also equal 18/8 moles C
so 18/8 * 1/atomicmassC=.0033597/AtomicmassH
solving for atomic mass H, then
atomic massH= .0033597*atomicmassC*8/18
that works out to about...0.018. Well, that is certainly not the compound.
So I suspect you need to know which compound was formed.
I think something is amiss in this problem. Let's go the other way.
mols C = 1/12 = 0.083333
mols H = 0.033597/1.00794 = 0.03333
ratio is C2.48 to H1.00 which rounds to C5H2 and this is an unlikely hydrocarbon. So I don't think all of the looking in the world will help.
To calculate the atomic mass of hydrogen, we need to know the number of moles of hydrogen and the molar mass of hydrogen.
Step 1: Convert the mass of hydrogen to moles.
Given mass of hydrogen = 0.033597 grams
To convert to moles, divide the mass by the molar mass of hydrogen.
The molar mass of hydrogen (H) is approximately 1.008 grams/mol.
Number of moles of hydrogen = Mass of hydrogen / Molar mass of hydrogen
= 0.033597 grams / 1.008 grams/mol
≈ 0.0334 moles
Step 2: Identify the atomic mass of hydrogen.
The atomic mass of hydrogen (H) is approximately 1.008 atomic mass units (amu).
Therefore, the atomic mass of hydrogen is 1.008 amu.
