Chapter 6, Problem 116E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The mass of hydrogen in grams that could be obtained from $1.0\text{kg}$ of ethanol, ${\text{C}}_{\text{2}}{\text{H}}_{\text{5}}\text{OH}$ should be determined.

Concept introduction: To obtain a mass of specific elementfrom the given mass of a compound, first convert the given mass of a compound into their corresponding moles usingmolar mass of a compound as a conversion factor. Then, use thesemoles as a conversion factor to convert the moles of a compound into the moles of specific elements present in the compound using mole–mole relationship. Convert the moles of elements into corresponding mass using molar mass of the element as a conversion factor.
