Question

If 11.2 g of hydrogen reacts completely with 86.8 g of oxygen to form hydrogen peroxide, what is the percent by mass of hydrogen in hydrogen peroxide?

Expert Solution

Introduction:

The law of conservation of mass states that the mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Hence, balancing of chemical equations follows the law of conservation of mass. Thus, the total mass of reactants and the total mass of products are equal. The mass percent of a particular substance can be calculated as follows:

$Mass percent of substance = \frac{Mass of that substance in compound}{Mass of compound} \times 100 %$
