  • Calculating Hydrogen Atoms in Carbonic Acid (H₂CO₃)
    Here's how to solve this:

    1. Chemical Formula:

    Carbon hydroxide is not a valid chemical formula. It's likely you're referring to carbonic acid, which has the formula H₂CO₃.

    2. Moles to Atoms:

    * Avogadro's number: There are 6.022 x 10²³ atoms (or molecules) in one mole of any substance.

    * Hydrogen atoms per molecule: The formula H₂CO₃ tells us there are 2 hydrogen atoms in each molecule of carbonic acid.

    3. Calculation:

    * Step 1: Calculate the number of carbonic acid molecules in 0.180 moles:

    0.180 moles * 6.022 x 10²³ molecules/mole = 1.084 x 10²³ molecules

    * Step 2: Calculate the number of hydrogen atoms:

    1.084 x 10²³ molecules * 2 hydrogen atoms/molecule = 2.168 x 10²³ hydrogen atoms

    Therefore, there are approximately 2.168 x 10²³ hydrogen atoms in 0.180 moles of carbonic acid (H₂CO₃).
