Calculate percentage of hydrogen in water
Given that the relative atomic masses in amu of H = 1, 0 = 16.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Relative molecular mass of `H_2O`
=1 x 2 + 16
=18
Since 18 g of water contains 2 g of hydrogen
`therefore` 100 g of water contains `2/18 xx 100` = 11.11 g of Hydrogen
Hydrogen in water is 11.1%
