  • Calculating Hydrogen Atoms in Ammonium Sulfide: A Step-by-Step Guide
    Here's how to solve this problem:

    1. Understand the Formula:

    * Ammonium sulfide has the chemical formula (NH₄)₂S. This means each molecule contains:

    * 2 nitrogen atoms (N)

    * 8 hydrogen atoms (H)

    * 1 sulfur atom (S)

    2. Calculate the Number of Molecules:

    * Avogadro's number tells us there are 6.022 x 10²³ molecules in one mole of any substance.

    * For 8.30 moles of ammonium sulfide, you have:

    * 8.30 moles * (6.022 x 10²³ molecules/mole) = 4.99 x 10²⁴ molecules

    3. Calculate the Total Hydrogen Atoms:

    * Since each molecule has 8 hydrogen atoms, the total number of hydrogen atoms is:

    * (4.99 x 10²⁴ molecules) * (8 hydrogen atoms/molecule) = 3.99 x 10²⁵ hydrogen atoms

    Therefore, there are approximately 3.99 x 10²⁵ hydrogen atoms in 8.30 moles of ammonium sulfide.
