Question

How many moles are in h2so4?

Answer 1

H2SO4 molecular weight is 98g/mol.

out of 98g 64g is due to oxygen

one mole of oxygen is 32g

Then 2moles of oxygen in H2SO4.

If you want to know the mass percent of a substance in a compound.

Simple formula:

Mass percent=Mass of the substance×100/Total mass of the compound

Ex:

Mass percent of oxygen in H2SO4=mass of the oxygen ×100/Total mass of the H2SO4

(i.e 16×4×100/98=65.3061%)

Here oxygen mass is multipled by 4 because there are 4 Oxygen atoms in H2SO4.
