Hydrogen Atoms Calculation in Urea

This solution details the steps to find the number of hydrogen atoms in a given mass of urea using stoichiometry and Avogadro's number.

Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Calculate Moles of Urea: First, determine the number of moles of urea using the given mass and molar mass.

    Moles of urea = $ \frac{\text{Mass of urea}}{\text{Molar mass of urea}} $

    Moles of urea = $ \frac{5.4 \text{ g}}{60 \text{ g mol}^{-1}} = 0.09 \text{ mol} $

  2. Calculate Number of Urea Molecules: Next, find the total number of urea molecules using the moles calculated and Avogadro's number ($N_A$).

    Number of urea molecules = Moles of urea $ \times N_A $

    Number of urea molecules = $ 0.09 \text{ mol} \times 6.022 \times 10^{23} \text{ molecules mol}^{-1} $

    Number of urea molecules = $ 0.54198 \times 10^{23} \text{ molecules} $

  3. Determine Hydrogen Atoms per Urea Molecule: The chemical formula for urea is $(NH_2)_2CO$, which means each molecule contains 4 hydrogen atoms (2 from each $NH_2$ group).
  4. Calculate Total Hydrogen Atoms: Multiply the number of urea molecules by the number of hydrogen atoms per molecule.

    Number of H atoms = Number of urea molecules $ \times $ (Number of H atoms per molecule)

    Number of H atoms = $ (0.09 \times 6.022 \times 10^{23}) \times 4 $

    Number of H atoms = $ 0.36 \times 6.022 \times 10^{23} $

    Number of H atoms = $ 2.16792 \times 10^{23} $

    Rounding to the required precision, we get $ 2.168 \times 10^{23} $ hydrogen atoms.
The number of hydrogen atoms present in $5.4 \text{ g}$ of urea is $2.168 \times 10^{23}$.
