1. Find the molar mass of C8H8:
* Carbon (C) has a molar mass of 12.01 g/mol
* Hydrogen (H) has a molar mass of 1.01 g/mol
* Molar mass of C8H8 = (8 * 12.01 g/mol) + (8 * 1.01 g/mol) = 104.16 g/mol
2. Calculate the moles of C8H8:
* Moles = Mass / Molar mass
* Moles of C8H8 = 5.839 g / 104.16 g/mol = 0.0560 mol
3. Calculate the moles of hydrogen atoms:
* There are 8 hydrogen atoms per molecule of C8H8.
* Moles of hydrogen atoms = 0.0560 mol C8H8 * 8 mol H / 1 mol C8H8 = 0.448 mol H
4. Calculate the number of hydrogen atoms:
* Avogadro's number: 6.022 x 10^23 atoms/mol
* Number of hydrogen atoms = 0.448 mol H * 6.022 x 10^23 atoms/mol = 2.69 x 10^23 atoms
Therefore, there are approximately 2.69 x 10^23 hydrogen atoms in 5.839 grams of C8H8.
