When percentages are given, assume that the total mass is 100 grams to determine the mass of each element in grams. (mass % = mass). Then, using the molar masses of each element, convert grams to moles (mass → moles). The unknown compound is 4.8% H by mass. How many moles of hydrogen does a 100.0 gram sample of the unknown compound contain? (I am lost please help me!)
