The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the percentage of hydrogen in water and hydrogen peroxide and to identify which law it illustrates, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Percentages Given**: - The percentage of hydrogen in water (H₂O) is given as 11.2%. - The percentage of hydrogen in hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) is given as 5.94%. 2. **Calculate the Mass of Hydrogen in 100 g of Each Compound**: - For water (H₂O): - Mass of hydrogen = 11.2 g (in 100 g of H₂O). - For hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂): - Mass of hydrogen = 5.94 g (in 100 g of H₂O₂). 3. **Calculate the Mass of Oxygen in Each Compound**: - For water (H₂O): - Molar mass of water = 2 (H) + 16 (O) = 18 g/mol. - Mass of oxygen in 100 g of H₂O = 100 g - 11.2 g = 88.8 g. - For hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂): - Molar mass of hydrogen peroxide = 2 (H) + 32 (O) = 34 g/mol. - Mass of oxygen in 100 g of H₂O₂ = 100 g - 5.94 g = 94.06 g. 4. **Calculate the Ratio of Masses of Hydrogen to Oxygen**: - For water (H₂O): - Ratio of H to O = 11.2 g (H) : 88.8 g (O) = 1 : 7.93. - For hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂): - Ratio of H to O = 5.94 g (H) : 94.06 g (O) = 1 : 15.86. 5. **Compare the Ratios**: - The ratio of hydrogen in H₂O to H₂O₂ can be simplified: - The ratio of the amounts of hydrogen in H₂O and H₂O₂ is 11.2 g : 5.94 g. - This can be expressed as approximately 2 : 1 when simplified. 6. **Identify the Law Illustrated**: - The ratios of the masses of hydrogen in the two compounds (H₂O and H₂O₂) are in a simple whole number ratio (2:1). - This illustrates the **Law of Multiple Proportions**, which states that when two elements combine to form two or more compounds, the ratios of the masses of one element that combine with a fixed mass of the other element can be expressed as small whole numbers. ### Conclusion: The percentages of hydrogen in water and hydrogen peroxide illustrate the **Law of Multiple Proportions**.
