1. Determine the molar mass of CH4O:
* Carbon (C): 12.01 g/mol
* Hydrogen (H): 1.01 g/mol
* Oxygen (O): 16.00 g/mol
Molar mass of CH4O = 12.01 + (4 * 1.01) + 16.00 = 32.05 g/mol
2. Calculate the mass percentage of hydrogen in CH4O:
* Mass of hydrogen in CH4O: 4 * 1.01 g/mol = 4.04 g/mol
* Mass percentage of hydrogen = (4.04 g/mol / 32.05 g/mol) * 100% = 12.61%
3. Calculate the grams of hydrogen in 46g of CH4O:
* Grams of hydrogen = (12.61% / 100%) * 46g = 5.81g
Therefore, there are approximately 5.81 grams of hydrogen in 46 grams of CH4O.
