  • Calculating Moles of Hydrogen in Water: A Step-by-Step Guide
    Here's how to solve this:

    1. Understand the chemical formula:

    * H₂O represents one molecule of water. It contains 2 hydrogen atoms (H) and 1 oxygen atom (O).

    2. Calculate the number of hydrogen atoms:

    * 100 H₂O molecules contain 100 * 2 = 200 hydrogen atoms.

    3. Convert atoms to moles:

    * One mole of any substance contains Avogadro's number of particles (6.022 x 10²³).

    * To find the number of moles of hydrogen, divide the number of hydrogen atoms by Avogadro's number: 200 atoms / (6.022 x 10²³) atoms/mol ≈ 3.32 x 10⁻²² moles

    Therefore, there are approximately 3.32 x 10⁻²² moles of hydrogen in 100 H₂O molecules.
