Answer : The percent composition of hydrogen in a compound is, 15%
Solution : Given,
The mass of compound = 276 grams
The mass of collected hydrogen after decomposition = 41.4 grams
Formula used :
[tex]\%\text{ composition of hydrogen}=\frac{\text{Mass of hydrogen}}{\text{Mass of compound}}\times 100[/tex]
Now put all the given values in this formula, we get the percent composition of hydrogen.
[tex]\%\text{ composition of hydrogen}=\frac{41.4g}{276g}\times 100=15\%[/tex]
Therefore, the percent composition of hydrogen in a compound is, 15%
