The number of hydrogen atoms in 0.050 mol of c3h8o3 is

            2.40 × 10²³ Atoms of Hydrogen

Solution:

The number of hydrogen atoms in C₃H₈O₃ are calculated as;

As, there are eight hydrogen atoms per molecule of C₃H₈O₃, therefore the number of hydrogen atoms per mole of C₃H₈O₃ are calculated as;

            1 mole C₃H₈O₃ contains  =  6.022 × 10²³ Molecules of C₃H₈O₃

So,

       0.05 mole C₃H₈O₃ will contain  =  X Molecules of C₃H₈O₃

Solving for X,

                     X  =  (0.05 × 6.022 × 10²³) ÷ 1

                     X =  3.011 × 10²² Molecules of C₃H₈O₃

As,

            1 Molecule of C₃H₈O₃ contains  =  8 Atoms of Hydrogen

So,

3.011 × 10²² Molecules of C₃H₈O₃ will contain  =  X Atoms of Hydrogen

Solving for X,

                     X =  (3.011 × 10²² × 8) ÷ 1

                     X  =  2.40 × 10²³ Atoms of Hydrogen

the number of valence electrons for each molecule or ion is shown beneath the structure. remember hydrogen will not have more than two electrons. this hydrogen is part of a covalent bond (sharing two electrons). a double bond here would cause hydrogen to share four electrons with phosphorus.

it means there are 3 atoms of oxygen
